The early May bank holiday may have only just been and gone but many of us are looking to the next long weekend in the calendar. In 2022, things are a little different as the spring bank holiday, which usually takes place in late May, has been moved to June.
What's more, the UK has also been given an extra bank holiday this year to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. The unprecedented anniversary, which marks 70 years since Her Majesty's accession, will be celebrated with a four-day weekend.
The celebration will take place in early June, with the spring bank holiday moved to Thursday, June 2 and the Platinum Jubilee being marked on Friday, June 3. It means an extra-long weekend for most of us.
