A UK Calendar That Gets the Bank Holidays Right
Bank holidays in the UK are not the same everywhere. England and Wales share one list, Scotland has its own, and Northern Ireland has two extra days. A calendar from a random website often gets this wrong.
Our 2026 calendar UK shows all of them, with the region in brackets where needed. The online calendar at the top marks each one in colour. Click a coloured day to jump to the table.
You can print the year in four styles:
- 2026 calendar with UK bank holidays: the 12 months on one A4 page.
- 2026 calendar with week numbers: very handy at work, where “week 12” is common.
- 2026 one-page calendar: a clean design for a wall or a notice board.
- Blank 2026 calendar: no holidays, so you can add your own dates.
For more room to write, see the 2026 monthly calendar, the 3-month calendar or the 6-month calendar.

Northern Ireland (10 bank holidays) The same 8 days as England and Wales, plus St Patrick’s Day (Tue 17 Mar) and the Battle of the Boyne, observed on Monday 13 July because 12 July is a Sunday.
Long Weekends in 2026
- Easter: Friday 3 to Monday 6 April, a four-day weekend in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
- May: two long weekends, 2–4 May and 23–25 May.
- August: 1–3 August in Scotland, 29–31 August in the rest of the UK.
- Christmas: Boxing Day is on a Saturday, so the substitute day is Monday 28 December. That gives four days off from 25 to 28 December.
Book 4 days of annual leave after Easter (Tuesday 7 to Friday 10 April) and you get 10 days off in a row.
Week Numbers and Clock Changes
Our week number calendar uses the ISO system, which is standard in the UK. Weeks start on Monday, and week 1 is the week with the first Thursday of the year. In 2026, week 1 starts on Monday 29 December 2025, and the year has 53 weeks.
The clocks go forward on Sunday 29 March (British Summer Time starts) and back on Sunday 25 October.
Printing on A4
Click PDF under the template you like. Then:
