Bank Holidays in England & Wales
England and Wales typically observe 8 bank holidays per year: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Early May Bank Holiday, Spring Bank Holiday, Summer Bank Holiday, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day. Most businesses and schools close on these days.
Week Starts on Monday
In the United Kingdom, the week starts on Monday following the ISO 8601 standard. This calendar reflects that convention. When a bank holiday falls on a weekend, a substitute weekday is usually given, typically the next Monday.
