When is the next Bank Holiday in the UK? Full list of remaining dates for 2025 Fresh off of a four-day break, we're looking ahead to the next long weekend People enjoying the bank holiday sunshine in Manchester's Northern Quarter. (Image: Adam Vaughan ) For many, this morning's alarm was particularly unwelcome following a four-day weekend thanks to back-to-back bank holidays. Good Friday and Easter Monday left many with the opportunity to get away for a few days, catch up on some much-needed life admin or to simply relax and unwind to the fullest. Luckily, the run of spring and summer bank holidays continues with the Early May Bank Holiday on Monday, May 5, which is followed by the the Spring Bank Holiday on Monday, May 26. While neither of these will live up to the four-day stretch we were just treated to, knowing that two bank holidays fall within three weeks of each other is a very nice prospect to look forward to. Couple that with the expectation of warmer temperatures and rays of sunshine (fingers crossed), both weekends present a golden opportunity to get those staycations, garden BBQs, or festival weekends booked in early.

That'll wrap things up as we move into the colder months once again, with the festive period providing the next bank holidays in the pipeline.
