    I am just planning my holidays, and there is one thing I am unsure of. Normally if a Bank Holiday falls onto the weekend, the folloiwng monday is free.

    How is it this year for christmas and New Year ?

    The 25th is a saturday, the 26th is a sunday. Normally these days are bank holidays. Would that mean that the monday should be off as well ?

    The same for New Years. It is a Saturday. Does that mean the Monday after is a Bank Holiday as well?

    I am a bit confused.

    Cheers,
    DSAB

    If a Bank Holiday falls on a Saturday... it is observed on the Monday.
    If a second consecutive Bank Holiday falls on the Sunday... it is observed on Tuesday.

    I love it when Christmas and New Year's fall that way! :D
