United Kingdom records 13 holidays in 2027. 5 are nationwide public holidays and 8 apply only in certain regions. Not one public holiday lands on a weekend in 2027 — every single one falls on a working day. Boxing Day (28 Dec 2027) sits on a Tuesday or Thursday, so booking the Monday turns it into a four-day break. The busiest month is May, with 2 of them. The longest run without one is 210 days, between 31 May 2027 and 27 Dec 2027. The year opens with Good Friday on 26 Mar 2027 and closes with Boxing Day on 28 Dec 2027.
