About local holidays
UK public holidays are called "bank holidays" — a legacy of the 1871 Bank Holidays Act. England and Wales have eight, Scotland nine, Northern Ireland ten. May packs two (Early May and Spring Bank), August another. Easter (Good Friday + Easter Monday) shuts almost everything. Christmas and Boxing Day (December 26) form the winter break. When a bank holiday lands on a weekend, it is moved to the next Monday as a "substitute day".
