The calendar above is already set to United Kingdom holidays for 2027, ready to download as a PDF. Below is the full list, the weekday each holiday falls on, and the long weekends they create.

How holidays work in United Kingdom

The United Kingdom calls them bank holidays, and the list differs by nation: England and Wales usually have eight, Scotland nine and Northern Ireland ten, with days such as St Andrew’s Day or Orangemen’s Day appearing in only one of them.
When a bank holiday falls at a weekend, a substitute weekday is declared — that substitute is the date shown here.
Extra one-off holidays are proclaimed for royal occasions; those appear in the data for the year they are announced.

These are the dates as officially observed. Where a country moves a day off because the holiday itself falls at a weekend, the moved date is the one shown, which is why a date here can differ from the traditional one. 7 of these apply to some regions rather than the whole country; the generator can narrow the calendar to one region so only the days off that actually apply are printed.

Long weekends in 2027

Stretches of three or more days off in a row, counting weekends and nationwide public holidays together. Holidays that apply only to some regions are left out, since they would not give most people the day off.

Holidays that fall at a weekend

One holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday in 2027, and United Kingdom does not shift it to a weekday:

January 2 (Saturday) — 2 January
