About these dates
These dates have been checked by hand against United Kingdom's official calendar.
The country-level list in date-holidays leaves out the late-August bank holiday that England, Wales and Northern Ireland all observe, so BridgeDays always uses a nation here rather than a UK-wide list.
Scotland and Northern Ireland have genuinely different bank holidays. Pick your nation.
