King Charles III's coronation gives Brits an extra day off this spring
People in England and Wales have five bank holidays to look forward to in the coming months, with the King's Coronation giving us an extra day off to celebrate.
On these days, most shops, schools, and businesses will close while public transport will operate on a different timetable. A long weekend is on the cards, with Good Friday on April 7 and Easter Monday on April 10.The first Monday in May, known as May Day, is also a bank holiday, meaning we get Monday May 1 off. The King's Coronation takes place on Saturday May 6, with a bank holiday for the historical occasion taking place on the following Monday, May 8.
On the same day, musicians and stars will descend on Windsor Castle for the Coronation concert which will be broadcast live on the BBC. Meanwhile, bars, pubs and clubs will serve customers for an extra two hours between Friday May 5 and Sunday May 7. Home Secretary Suella Braverman will extend licensing hours from the normal 11pm to 1am to let the public 'enjoy an extra pint or two.'
