Why book Easter 2026?

In 2026, Good Friday falls on April 3rd and Easter Monday on April 6th. This creates a perfect window. By booking the four days leading up to Good Friday (March 30, 31, April 1, 2), you combine those days with two weekends and two bank holidays.

Region Notice (Scotland):

Note that Easter Monday is not a public holiday in Scotland, though many employers still observe it. Always check your local contract.

The Result (England, Wales, NI):

  • Start: Saturday, March 28
  • End: Monday, April 6
  • Total Days Off: 10
  • Annual Leave Used: 4 days
