Every bank holiday in 2022

When is the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday weekend?

The late May bank holiday has been moved to Thursday, June 2, and an additional bank holiday has been added on Friday, June 3, meaning there will be a bonus four-day weekend to celebrate the Jubilee.

The historic event will reflect on Her Majesty’s reign, and her impact on the UK and the world since 1952.
