2019-2020 年银行假日：英国公共假日完整指南

Hey there, holiday lovers! It’s your Holiday Little Assistant, back with another helpful breakdown. Today, we’re tackling a question I get all the time: How many bank holidays were there between 2019 and 2020 in the UK? Whether you’re planning trips, sorting work schedules, or just love a good day off, let’s dive into the details!

英国银行假日：基础知识

First things first—UK bank holidays (or public holidays) are days when most businesses, banks, and schools close. England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland share some holidays but also have their own regional ones. For 2019-2020, here’s the full count:

• 2019: 8 bank holidays in England/Wales, 9 in Scotland, and 10 in Northern Ireland.
• 2020: 8 in England/Wales, 9 in Scotland, and 10 in Northern Ireland.

So altogether, that’s 16-20 days off across the two years, depending on where you live. Not too shabby!

Why the Difference Between Countries?

Scotland gets an extra day in 2019 (St. Andrew’s Day), while Northern Ireland celebrates Battle of the Boyne (July 12th). England and Wales stick to the classic eight, including Easter Monday and the August Summer Holiday. Pro tip: If a holiday falls on a weekend, you often get a “substitute” weekday off—so keep an eye on the calendar!

充分利用银行假日

Want to stretch those days off? Pair them with annual leave! For example, taking 4 days off around Easter 2020 gave folks a 10-day break. Sneaky, right? Also, watch for sales (Boxing Day = shopping madness) and travel deals on quieter holidays like the Spring Bank Holiday.

To wrap up: Whether you’re in London, Edinburgh, or Belfast, 2019-2020 offered plenty of downtime. Mark those calendars early—you won’t want to miss a single free day!
