With children returning back to school for a new academic year this September there are still lots of holiday dates to look forward to in 2022.
Halloween sweets have already started appearing in shops, with the spookiest costumes and scary decorations already on display.
Before we know it Christmas will be in full swing and we’ll be welcoming in a new year.
However, that’s no reason to panic, children have only just gone back and we’ve still got plenty of time to enjoy the autumn before the winter settles in.
But in order to prepare ourselves for the new year, we’ve put together all the school holidays that will be happening in 2022.
It may seem a bit premature, but with the option to prebook that holiday abroad you missed out on this year, this could be the perfect time to check school term dates.
Schools and councils can vary with term dates so be sure to check your school's website for exact dates.
