Bridge day check

Falls on a Thursday. Book the Friday off and you get a four-day weekend — the classic bridge day.

Book off 14 Apr 2028 for 4 days off.

What the day is for

Officially recognised as a public holiday, so most people have the day off work.

Do shops and banks close?

Expect offices, banks and the majority of shops to be closed.

Getting around

Public transport usually runs a Sunday or holiday timetable.

These notes come from the day's official classification rather than country-specific reporting, so treat them as general guidance for Svalbard and Jan Mayen.
