Bank holidays 2023: Full list of all the days off including King Charles III coronation

Everyone loves a bank holiday and with Christmas done, many will start to look forward to the next time they get to have a bit of extra time off.

Thankfully, we get an extra bank holiday this year to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III.

Providing you work Monday to Friday, combining bank holidays with the days surrounding them means you can take larger blocks of time off while missing the least amount of working days.

We have compiled a list of all the bank holiday dates across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland so you start making your plan now.

There are nine bank holidays in England and Wales, ten in Scotland and 11 in Northern Ireland.
