تقویم تعطيليهاي رسمی در انگلستان , ولز , اسکاتلند و ایرلند شمالی.

Bank holidays are public holidays in the United Kingdom, when banks and many other businesses are closed for

 the day. Find out about the bank holiday dates in the different parts of the UK, and when the clocks go forward and back for British Summer Time

Bank holiday dates

The expected dates of bank and public holidays in England, Wales and Scotland are listed below

When the usual date of a bank or public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, a 'substitute day' is given, normally the following Monday. For example in 2009, Boxing Day was on Saturday, 26 December, so there was a substitute bank holiday on Monday, 28 December

England and Wales

There are currently eight permanent bank holidays in England and Wales and an additional one in 2012

Scotland

There are nine statutory bank holidays across the whole of Scotland. There are also other public or local holidays which can be determined by local authorities, based on local tradition. Since 2007, St Andrew's Day has been an alternative, voluntary public holiday, which can replace an existing local holiday

Businesses and schools are not necessarily closed on Scottish bank holidays, and the Scottish banks follow the English and Welsh bank holidays for business reasons

Scotland has not yet made a decision on the additional bank holiday for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012

Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, there are ten permanent bank holidays - the same eight as in England and Wales, plus St Patrick's Day and the Anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. For more information see the nidirect website
