Choose the bank holidays for your UK nation
England and Wales share a calendar. Scotland has a different summer bank holiday and a substitute holiday on 4 January 2027, but Easter Monday is not a national bank holiday there. Northern Ireland also has St Patrick’s Day and the Battle of the Boyne holiday. Choose your nation before planning.
Enter the leave you can choose yourself
Your employer may include bank holidays in your total holiday allowance. If your allowance includes days already assigned to bank holidays, subtract those before entering it here. Uncheck bank holidays you normally work. The planner assumes you work Monday to Friday and take leave in whole days.
Keep planning: print a calendar, count down to a holiday, or find the next UK bank holiday.
