The bank holiday for New Year's Day will not take place on January 1.
If a bank holiday is on a weekend, a ‘substitute’ weekday becomes a bank holiday, normally the following Monday. Your employer doesn’t have to give you paid leave on bank or public holiday and bank holidays might affect how and when your benefits are paid.
The New Year's Day bank holiday will not be held on January 1, but rather January 2. This follows the Christmas Day bank holiday being moved to December 27.
It's important to note New Year's Eve is not a bank holiday.
There'll also be an extra bank holiday in 2023 to mark the coronation of King Charles III.
Downing Street said the holiday will fall on Monday, May 8 following the coronation at Westminster Abbey two days earlier on Saturday May 6. It will take place across the UK.
Rishi Sunak said, as was the case with the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth in 1953, it will be an opportunity for families and communities across the country to come together to celebrate.
