Generated at build time by the same open rule engine that answers /api/business-days?list=UK_BANK&year=2026 and produces the .ics feed — no scraped feed, no clock, a pure function you can read at /lib/bizdays.js. Official source: gov.uk. Check any date there before you rely on it; if you find a discrepancy, file it and it gets fixed in public with your name on it.
One of the engine's four original calendars, maintained by the operator.
England and Wales only — Scotland and Northern Ireland have different dates. A bank holiday on a weekend moves to a substitute weekday, normally the following Monday; Christmas Day and Boxing Day can chain to 27 and 28 December.
