Feiertage in Großbritannien 2023: Mit wie vielen freien Tagen können Sie dieses Jahr rechnen?
Hey there! It’s your Holiday Little Assistant back with some juicy info for ya. I know you’re itching to plan those well-deserved breaks, so let’s dive into everyone’s favorite topic – exactly how many bank holidays the UK gets this year!
Wie viele Feiertage gibt es also tatsächlich im Vereinigten Königreich?
Alright, let’s cut to the chase – England and Wales typically enjoy 8 Feiertage jedes Jahr. Schottland? Glückliche Enten bekommen 9Nordirland führt die Liste mit 10 official days off. But wait – 2023’s a special year thanks to King Charles III’s coronation adding an extra day in May! So this year it’s:
– England/Wales: 9 Tage (inkl. Krönungsbonus)
– Schottland: 10 Tage
– Nordirland: 11 Tage
Warum hat jeder unterschiedliche freie Tage?
Great question! Here’s the tea: Scotland celebrates St Andrew’s Day (November 30) that England doesn’t observe. Northern Ireland gets both St Patrick’s Day (March 17) Und Jahrestag der Schlacht am Boyne (12. Juli). England und Wales teilen sich den gleichen Zeitplan mit Klassikern wie:
✔️ New Year’s Day
✔️ Karfreitag
✔️ Feiertag Anfang Mai
✔️ Frühlingsfeiertag
✔️ Sommerfeiertag
✔️ Weihnachtstag
✔️ Zweiter Weihnachtsfeiertag
Pro Tip: The “Moving Holiday” Quirk
Watch out for holidays that love to wander! The early May bank holiday always falls on the first Monday of May, while the Spring bank holiday hops around late May/early June. This year the Summer bank holiday gave England/Wales August 28 off, but Scotland got theirs on August 7 – total head-scratcher, right?
Was passiert, wenn ein Feiertag auf ein Wochenende fällt?
Jackpot alert! When Christmas or New Year’s falls on a weekend, you get a “substitute day” on the next weekday. For example, when December 25 was a Sunday in 2022, folks got Tuesday the 27th off instead. Two Christmases? Kinda!
To wrap it up – whether you’re in London with 9 days off or Belfast enjoying 11, mark those calendars and start planning those mini-vacations! Need exact 2024 dates? Just holler at your Holiday Little Assistant anytime. Now go enjoy that well-earned cuppa during your next bank holiday!
