Late Summer Bank Holiday
August 25, 2025-August 25, 2025 -
UK, UK
The Late Summer Bank Holiday in the UK was introduced in the Bank Holidays Act of 1871, which established four bank holidays in England, Wales, and Ireland.
The Act was passed in an effort to improve the living and working conditions of industrial workers, who often worked long hours in difficult and dangerous conditions.
The Act designated the first Monday in May, the first Monday in August, the first Monday in December, and Boxing Day (December 26th) as bank holidays.
Although the Late Summer Bank Holiday, also known as the August Bank Holiday, was originally celebrated on the first Monday in August, it was later moved to the last Monday in August in the 1970s as part of the Banking and Financial Dealings Act of 1971.
