People in England and Wales have five bank holidays to look forward to in the coming months, with the King's Coronation giving us an extra day off to celebrate.
Two bank holidays will take place in April, while three will fall in May. Bank holidays are a national public holiday and they are usually spread out across the calendar and includes seasonal events such as Christmas, Easter and the New Year.
On these days, most shops, schools, and businesses will close while public transport will operate on a different timetable. A long weekend is on the cards, with Good Friday on April 7 and Easter Monday on April 10.

The first Monday in May, known as May Day, is also a bank holiday, meaning we get Monday May 1 off. The King's Coronation takes place on Saturday May 6, with a bank holiday for the historical occasion taking place on the following Monday, May 8.
The ceremony, which will see King Charles III crowned monarch and Camilla crowned Queen Consort, will be conducted at Westminster Abbey. Tens of thousands of street parties are expected to be staged during the weekend, with people urged to come together across the nation for the Coronation Big Lunch on Sunday May 7.
On the same day, musicians and stars will descend on Windsor Castle for the Coronation concert which will be broadcast live on the BBC. Meanwhile, bars, pubs and clubs will serve customers for an extra two hours between Friday May 5 and Sunday May 7. Home Secretary Suella Braverman will extend licensing hours from the normal 11pm to 1am to let the public 'enjoy an extra pint or two.'
The final holiday to look forward to in May is the spring bank holiday, which falls on Monday May 29.
People living in Northern Ireland will enjoy a further bank holiday when St Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17. However in Scotland people will have one less, as Easter Monday is not considered a bank holiday.
