Full list of remaining UK bank holidays for 2026 with one in July The next bank holiday in the UK falls in July Across the UK, many people get bank holidays off as part of their standard employment contracts, while schools also shut for the day. The Government has announced the remaining bank holidays the UK will observe in 2026. Although different nations within the UK frequently have differing bank holiday dates, some stay consistent throughout. There are six bank holidays left between now and year's end, though not every part of the UK will observe them all. The next bank holiday occurs on Monday, July 13, when Northern Ireland commemorates the Battle of the Boyne bank holiday. After that, the following bank holiday arrives on Monday, August 3, when Scotland only marks its Summer bank holiday The rest of the UK (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) will celebrate their Summer bank holiday on Monday, August 31. And later in the year, Scotland alone will enjoy a bank holiday on Monday, November 30, for St Andrew's Day. The whole of the UK will then observe a bank holiday for Christmas Day on December 25, and a "substitute" bank holiday for Boxing Day on Monday, December 28. This replacement day has been introduced as Boxing Day falls on a Saturday this year.
