With just a number of weeks remaining for 2022, the bank holidays for 2023 have been confirmed.
Bank holidays are a national public holiday and they are usually spread out across the calendar. They include seasonal events such as Christmas, Easter and the New Year. Although they can sometimes impact benefit payments, so it's worth being prepared and making a note of the dates.
Depending on the holiday and the reason, some shops can close, as do schools, banks and some businesses.
