New Year's Day is just around the corner, but following the January bank holiday there won't be another one for months.
Still, there's no reason why we can't all look ahead to spring and summer and jot some dates down in the diary to mark and look forward to long weekends in the sun.
With careful and early planning, many people will want to factor 2021's bank holiday dates into their time off, resulting in more consecutive days away from desks next year.
In fact, the super organised could get as many as 48 days off for the price of 19, reports The Mirror. This is exactly when the bank holidays will be in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland next year.
