What is the Spring Bank Holiday?<\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div>

<\/div>

The Spring Bank Holiday is the UK’s national holiday<\/strong> that is celebrated on the last Monday in May<\/strong>. In 2023, the official bank holiday will be on Monday 29th May<\/strong>! We get a handful of days throughout the year for all hard-working Brits to enjoy<\/p>\n

It’s also known as the Late May Bank Holiday! Did you know it was first established in 1978<\/strong> as part of the Banking and Financial Dealings Act? This was so the bank and financial institutions would close and their workers could enjoy a long weekend<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

It’s the time to relax, spend time with family and friends, or have some good old quality time with yourself! Whether you go away for a long weekend, a road trip to somewhere you’ve never been before or stay at home. We’re sure your holiday plans will be refreshing for you!<\/p>\n<\/div>

When is the Spring Bank Holiday 2023?<\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div>

<\/div>

This year, the spring holiday is on 29th May 2023. But it’s not the only bank holiday during May!<\/p>\n

The first Monday of the month – Early May Bank Holiday<\/strong> – is also an official holiday! So, you’ll have two 3-day weekends… or won’t you?<\/p>\n

Are you forgetting we have an additional one-off holiday<\/strong> in 2023? On the 8th May<\/strong>, there will be a Coronation bank holiday<\/strong> for King Charles. A special event, that many people across the UK will be watching and celebrating.<\/p>\n

For others, it’s an additional 3-day weekend and a chance to enjoy<\/strong>, relax<\/strong> and rejuvenate<\/strong>. Plus, since these are all in May, we have a high chance of warm and lovely weather, so hopefully, we can get outside and enjoy that British sun.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Is the Spring Bank Holiday During the School Term?<\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div>

The first two Spring holidays in May are not in the half-term<\/strong>, so they will be during term time. But it’s still a national holiday, so schools will be closed<\/strong>. Teacher training days may follow these bank holidays, but please check with your kid’s school beforehand.<\/p>\n

However, the 29th May<\/strong> official bank holiday will be the start of the summer half-term<\/strong> for schools in England & Wales!<\/p>\n

You can check out all the UK school holidays<\/a> on our blog!<\/p>\n<\/div>
