UK bank holidays 2026–2027
Pick a bank holiday to see which supermarkets, shops, banks and post services are open, and the rules in each part of the UK. Dates come from GOV.UK. Easter Sunday isn't a bank holiday, but it's listed because the law closes large shops in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
