What UK bank holidays are coming up? Here's how many are left in 2025
- The UK has two upcoming bank holidays in May 2025, starting with the Early May bank holiday on May 5 and the Spring Bank Holiday on May 26.
- These holidays follow longstanding practices: the Early May bank holiday is fixed, and the Spring Bank Holiday was officially set in 1971 after government trials from 1965 to 1970.
- Typically, residents in England and Wales receive eight bank holidays, Scotland nine, and Northern Ireland ten throughout the year, with only a few remaining after May.
- May 5 commemorates eight decades since Nazi Germany’s unconditional surrender in 1945, an event observed with widespread national remembrance, although it is not designated as a bank holiday.
- The scheduled holidays in May and remaining days suggest limited public holidays left in 2025, maintaining regional variations in total annual bank holidays across the UK.
