Here’s the fun part—the Easter holiday. It’s a fickle beast. In 2026, Easter Sunday falls on April 5th.
That means Good Friday (April 3rd) and Easter Monday (April 6th) are already banked. But here’s the sneaky detail: Easter Monday is always a Monday. That’s a freebie every year.
But wait for the real chaos—the Early May Bank Holiday. On May 4th, 2026? You bet. That’s another Monday. Suddenly, May becomes a Monday minefield of joy.
The Spring Bonanza (and a Weird Gap)
Let’s break it down month by month. January? Nothing. A cruel start, but we survive.
February 2026? Cupid’s on shift, but no bank holiday Monday. March? Zilch. The drought breaks in April with Easter Monday.
Then May hits like a truck. Two bank holiday Mondays: May 4th and the Late May Bank Holiday on May 25th. That’s three Mondays off in just two months. Unfair? Maybe. Awesome? Absolutely.
