UK Bank Holidays in 2022 and 2023: Check full list here

Bank Holidays for 2023 and the remainder of 2022 have been announced. These holidays will be applicable in the UK, Ireland, and the three Crown dependencies, the Bailiwick of Jersey, the Isle of Man, and the Bailiwick of Guernsey.

A bank holiday in the UK refers to a three-day weekend, which may either be Friday-Saturday-Sunday or Saturday-Sunday-Monday. A holiday falling on the weekend gets compensated with a weekday, mostly a Monday.

Only two bank holidays remain for 2022:

December 26 - Monday - Boxing Day

December 27 - Tuesday - Christmas Holiday (Substitute)

Here’s the complete list of bank holidays for 2023:

January 2 - Monday - New Year’s Day (Substitute)
April 7 - Friday - Good Friday
April 10 - Monday - Easter Monday
May 1 - Monday - Early May Bank Holiday


May 29 - Monday – Spring Bank Holiday
August 28 - Monday - Summer Bank Holiday
December 25 - Monday - Christmas Day
December 26 - Tuesday - Boxing Day

Most of the bank holidays usually fall on the same dates, while some extras could be added for special occasions, like the Queen’s funeral last month. The frequency of public transport is reduced on these holidays, and most businesses, schools, and shops remain shut.
