Seven bank holidays are coming up in England and Wales for 2025. Plan ahead!
Teesside: In the next few months, England and Wales will have seven bank holidays. It’s a great time to plan your days off.
The government announced in November 2024 that there won’t be extra bank holidays this year. They considered adding days for the 80th anniversary of World War Two, but that idea was dropped.
Remember, if a bank holiday lands on a weekend, the following Monday will be a bank holiday instead. This is called a ‘substitute’ holiday.
Also, keep in mind that employers aren’t required to give paid leave on bank holidays. This can affect your benefit payments too.
Here’s the full list of bank holidays for 2025 in England and Wales:
- Good Friday – Friday, April 18
- Easter Monday – Monday, April 21
- Early May bank holiday – Monday, May 5
- Spring bank holiday – Monday, May 26
- Summer bank holiday – Monday, August 25
- Christmas Day – Thursday, December 25
- Boxing Day – Friday, December 26
