What is a bank holiday?
A bank holiday is a public holiday in the UK when most people are given an extra day off work.
It was Liberal MP John Lubbock who first tabled the Bank Holidays Act of 1871 and said its aim was to ease pressure on workers by giving them an extra four days off.
At that point, those days were Easter Monday, the first Monday in August, Whit Monday and Boxing Day.
Over the years more have been added, and England and Wales now has a total of eight bank holidays – including Good Friday, Christmas Day, May Day and New Year’s Day.
Scotland has nine and Northern Ireland has ten.
They were given the name bank holidays as banks are closed – and if they can’t do business, no-one else can.
Similarly, schools are shut on bank holidays, and transport services are often scaled back.
