How Many Bank Holidays Are There In 2023?

What Is A Substitute Day?
When a bank holiday would typically occur on a weekend, like Christmas or Boxing Day, that day is normally shifted to the next available weekday. This allows people who would otherwise have Saturday or Sunday off to enjoy a day of the week from work.
What Happened To The Queen’s Jubilee Bank Holiday?
The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee bank holiday, which resulted in a four-day weekend in 2022, will no longer apply in 2023. That’s because the jubilee is celebrated to commemorate the Queen’s 70-year reign, and only applies for one year.
