Boxing Day bank holiday moved from December 26 this year

The annual Christmas bank holiday has been rescheduled, meaning Boxing Day will no longer be observed on December 26 this year. Following this adjustment, the bank holiday schedule for 2027 has been established. There are nine bank holidays available for people to enjoy during 2027. These changes ensure that the public holiday calendar is updated to reflect the movement of the Boxing Day observance away from its traditional date for the specified periods.
