How is the date set?
Scotland’s summer bank holiday is the first Monday in August. England, Wales and Northern Ireland use the last Monday in August, so one UK-wide date would be wrong.
What should I check locally?
Select Scotland, England and Wales, or Northern Ireland in the countdown before saving a date. The page follows GOV.UK’s nation-specific schedule; employers and local services set their own opening hours.
