Disclaimer

About this disclaimer

This disclaimer applies to UK Bank Holidays Info at https://bankholidaysinfo.com. The website is owned and operated by James Wilson in the United Kingdom. References to “we”, “us” and “our” mean the website operator.

By using the website, you acknowledge the limits described on this page. If you do not agree with this disclaimer, you should not rely on the website or its tools.

General information only

UK Bank Holidays Info publishes general information about bank holiday dates in England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The website also provides calendars, countdowns, annual leave planning tools, weather-related planning information, and articles that explain common holiday questions.

The content is provided for general information and personal planning. It is not legal, employment, financial, tax, travel, weather, business, or other professional advice. Information on the website should not replace advice based on your personal circumstances.

We are an independent website

UK Bank Holidays Info is an independent website. We are not part of the UK Government, GOV.UK, the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government, the Northern Ireland Executive, a local authority, a bank, an employer, a trade union, or another public body.

The use of the words “UK”, “bank holidays”, or the name of a government body does not suggest an official connection or endorsement. For the official list of past and upcoming bank holidays, visit https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays.

Accuracy of bank holiday dates

We take reasonable care when researching and updating bank holiday dates. Our main reference is the official GOV.UK bank holiday service, supported where necessary by legislation and announcements from the relevant government or public authority.

We cannot promise that every page, table, calendar, or tool will always be complete, current, or free from error. A date may be corrected after publication, and governments can announce a special bank holiday or change an expected date. Technical faults, delayed updates, or a mistake in a source may also affect the information shown.

Bank holiday dates are not identical throughout the United Kingdom. Scotland and Northern Ireland have holidays that do not apply in England and Wales, and some summer bank holiday dates differ by region. Local public holidays and school holidays may also differ from the national bank holidays listed on this website.

When a bank holiday falls on a weekend, a substitute weekday may be observed. The substitute day is the relevant bank holiday for planning purposes, but this does not mean that every business or organisation will close on that day.

Check important dates before relying on them

You should verify an important bank holiday date with GOV.UK or another relevant official source before making a booking, paying a non-refundable charge, arranging childcare, setting a business deadline, planning staff cover, or making another commitment. You should also check the correct region because a holiday observed in one part of the UK may be an ordinary working day in another.

A date shown on UK Bank Holidays Info does not create a legal right, change an employment contract, extend an official deadline, or require an organisation to open or close. The person or organisation responsible for a deadline, booking, workplace, school, or service may apply separate rules.

Employment rights and holiday pay

A bank holiday does not automatically give every worker a legal right to take the day off as paid leave. An employer may include bank holidays within a worker’s statutory annual leave allowance, provide them in addition to that allowance, or require work on a bank holiday where the contract and applicable law allow it.

There is also no general automatic right to extra pay merely because a person works on a bank holiday. Pay, time off in lieu, and working arrangements may depend on the employment contract, workplace policy, collective agreement, working pattern, and the law that applies to the individual.

Our articles and tools cannot determine your personal entitlement. Check your employment contract and ask your employer, HR department, or trade union if you are unsure. For official guidance, use GOV.UK or Acas, and obtain advice from a qualified professional when a disagreement or legal issue needs to be resolved.

Annual leave planning tools

Our Annual Leave Maximiser and related planning tools provide estimates based on the information selected or entered. A result may depend on the chosen region, working days, leave year, annual allowance, workplace closure dates, and the bank holidays stored in the tool.

The tools do not have access to your employment contract, rota, employer policy, leave already taken, carried-over leave, part-time arrangements, or other facts that may affect entitlement. A suggested plan is therefore an example, not approval of leave or confirmation that the calculation applies to you.

Always check a result yourself and obtain approval from your employer before making arrangements. We are not responsible for refused leave, an incorrect entitlement calculation, a missed shift, loss of pay, or a booking made before the result was independently confirmed.

Calendars, countdowns and date checkers

Our calendars, Bank Holiday Countdown, UK Bank Holiday Checker, and year-based tools use stored date information and the settings selected by the visitor. A result can be wrong if the incorrect year or region is chosen, the device date or time is inaccurate, a government announcement has not yet been added, or a technical error occurs.

A countdown is a convenience feature rather than an official timekeeping service. A statement that a date is or is not a bank holiday applies only to the region and date shown. It should not be treated as confirmation that a workplace, school, bank, shop, transport service, medical service, or public office will be open or closed.

Weather information

Weather-related pages may contain seasonal averages, historical patterns, general descriptions, forecasts, or information obtained from another provider. Historical weather is not a forecast, and a forecast can change at short notice.

Check a current forecast and any official weather warning before travelling, attending an outdoor event, or making a decision involving safety. Nothing on this website should be used as emergency advice or as a replacement for instructions from the Met Office, emergency services, local authorities, transport operators, or event organisers.

Travel, bookings and local services

Bank holidays can affect public transport, shops, banks, waste collections, medical services, attractions, accommodation, and events. Opening hours and timetables are set by the organisations that provide those services and may change without notice.

We do not guarantee that a business, attraction, transport service, or public office will follow its usual bank holiday arrangements. Contact the relevant provider directly before travelling or making a payment.

External websites and links

The website may link to GOV.UK, public bodies, weather services, employers, travel providers, or other external websites. We provide these links to help visitors check sources or find related information, but we do not control the external website, its availability, security, content, or privacy practices.

A link does not mean that we endorse an organisation, product, service, opinion, or commercial offer. External pages can be changed, moved, or removed without notice. When you visit another website, its own terms and privacy policy apply.

Advertising and commercial content

UK Bank Holidays Info may display advertising in the future, including advertisements supplied through Google AdSense. An advertisement is selected or delivered by an advertising service and does not amount to our approval, recommendation, or guarantee of the advertiser, product, service, price, or claim.

We are not a party to a purchase or agreement between a visitor and an advertiser. You should check the seller, terms, price, refund policy, and suitability of a product or service before completing a transaction.

If we publish sponsored or affiliate content, we will identify the commercial relationship where disclosure is required. Payment will not determine the bank holiday dates shown in our calendars or prevent us from correcting an error.

Availability of the website

We try to keep the website and its tools available, but uninterrupted or error-free access is not guaranteed. The website may become unavailable because of maintenance, updates, security concerns, hosting problems, internet failures, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We may change, suspend, replace, or remove a page, feature, data source, or tool without notice. We are not required to keep information for a particular past or future year available permanently.

Limitation of liability

You remain responsible for checking information before relying on it and for decisions made using the website. To the fullest extent permitted by law, James Wilson and UK Bank Holidays Info will not be liable for loss or damage arising from an inaccurate or outdated date, an incorrect tool result, unavailable website content, reliance on general information, or use of an external website.

This includes, where the law permits, indirect or consequential loss, loss of income, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of data, additional travel costs, missed bookings, or other costs arising after information was used without suitable verification. These limits do not remove rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded.

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

Changes to this disclaimer

We may update this disclaimer when the website, its tools, its sources, or applicable law changes. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised. The version displayed on the website applies from the date it is published.
