About Early May bank holiday

A UK bank holiday at the start of May.

In 2027 it falls on a Monday; in 2028 it’s on Monday 1 May, and in 2029 on Monday 7 May. Because it’s a Monday this time, wherever it’s a day off it makes a long weekend of at least three days. Also in May 2027: World Press Freedom Day (3 May), Constitution Day (Poland) (3 May) and International Leopard Day (3 May). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.

How we work out the date
It’s the first Monday of May.
