What is Easter Monday?
Easter Monday is a bank holiday in England and Wales and Northern Ireland, but not in Scotland. It falls on the day after Easter Sunday and therefore changes date each year.
The page retains the three-nation scope instead of calling the date UK-wide. GOV.UK lists Easter Monday for England and Wales and for Northern Ireland, while it is absent from the Scottish division.
The calendar adds one day to Easter Sunday and verifies the result against the official observed-date lists. Good Friday remains a separate UK-wide entry.
- Applies in:
- nation (England, Wales, Northern Ireland)
Movable bank holiday: the date depends on Easter (Good Friday and Easter Monday) and changes every year.
