Is Monday a bank holiday Reason Why December 28 is a public day – Boxing Day was on Saturday, so it means that Brits get to enjoy another bank holiday on Monday, giving them a four-day weekend.
For more than 150 years Brits have been able to celebrate Boxing Day as a bank holiday.
December 26 has been designated as one of the constituted bank holidays across England and Wales since 1871.
It has allowed millions of families to spend more time together over the festive period, rather than return to work straight after the celebrations on Christmas Day itself.
Normally Boxing Day itself is a bank holiday, but in 2020 December 26 is on a Saturday, meaning things are a little bit different this year.
Is Monday 28th December a bank holiday?
Yes.
It is a holiday because Boxing Day which is an official holiday falls on the weekend, it means that the bank holiday is carried over to Monday 28th December to ensure people don’t lose out on another day off.
A lot of people are so glad that the Christmas weekend this year is three days long, so much fun to share this year’s Christmas.
With New Year’s Day on Friday also an official public holiday, it makes the final working week of 2020 just three days long, but does mean the first working week of 2021 has the normal five days, except in Scotland.
The same principle applies to Christmas Day, meaning that if it falls over a weekend then the following weekdays after public holidays.
In 2021 Christmas Day will be on a Saturday and Boxing Day on a Sunday, meaning the bank holiday for Christmas Day will be on Monday December 27, and Boxing Day’s public holiday on Tuesday December 28.
As a result, the Christmas weekend will be even longer next year and last four days.
The New Year’s weekend in 2022 will also be three days long, with New Year’s Day 2022 falling on a Saturday it will mean the following Monday (January 3) is a bank holiday in its place.
