About Summer bank holiday

The late summer bank holiday in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland’s is at the start of August.

In 2027 it falls on a Monday; in 2028 it’s on Monday 28 August, and in 2029 on Monday 27 August. 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 August 2027: National Toasted Marshmallow Day (30 Aug), International Whale Shark Day (30 Aug) and Liberation Day (Türkiye) (30 Aug). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
