The Easter four-day bank holiday may be almost over and already many people will be checking their calendar to see when the next long weekend will be. There are a total of eight bank holidays across the UK in 2024, and as we've already used up New Year's Day, Good Friday and Easter Monday, that means that five remain. And thankfully, we don't have to wait too long until the next one rolls around either.
Below is a breakdown of the remaining bank holidays in 2024 - as well as the dates they land on.
The next UK bank holiday comes in the form of the Early May bank holiday, which lands on Monday, May 6 this year. For those wondering why we have a random bank holiday at the start of the month, this one first originated as a Roman festival which celebrated the start of the summer.
