Are you planning a visit to Wales?... if so, don't forget to think about the dates of the Welsh public or bank
holidays which are actually on the same dates as the English public holidays.
Most shops and services in Welsh towns and cities will tend to run a 'weekend' type service on bank holidays. However,
government institutions will
remain closed on these days.
Note that additional public holidays are granted at Christmas if Christmas Day or Boxing
Day falls on a weekend. See below
for the full list of national holidays in Wales.
