There are usually eight bank holidays in the UK each year
Each year the Government sets out a number of bank holidays for the months ahead, with the UK usually having eight in a normal year.
Extraordinary events can lead to additional bank holidays, such as with the King's Coronation this year. The coronation took place on May 6, and the following Monday - May 8 - was an additional bank holiday. The most recent bank holiday took place last Monday and there are two more left in 2023. These fall on Monday, December 25 and Tuesday, December 26 .People living in Scotland have a third bank holiday left for this year, as Thursday, November 30, is St Andrew's Day.
Your employer does not have to give you paid leave on bank or public holidays. Bank holidays may also affect how wages and/or any benefits are paid. DWP and HMRC usually pays any benefits due on a bank holiday on the previous working day. So if the bank holiday falls on a Monday, and this is when your benefit or pension would normally land in your account, you can expect it on the previous Friday instead.
