Bank holidays 2030
England and Wales have 8 bank holidays in 2030, Scotland has 9 and Northern Ireland has 10. Every date below includes substitute days.
Provisional dates. The government hasn't published these yet, so we've calculated them from the usual rules. They are very likely to be right, but one-off holidays can be added or dates moved (as happened for the 2022 Platinum Jubilee). We check GOV.UK every day and update this page automatically.
