Bank Holidays: Plan Your Long Weekends

0:00On April 8th, after that epic Easter break, you probably eyeing the calendar for the next day off. Good news. The early May Bank holiday hits Monday, May 4th, giving us a long weekend and less than a month. Perfect for recharging or knocking out those home projects. Just three weeks later, the Spring Bank holiday drops on Monday, May 25th. That's prime time for warmer vibes, barbecues, or whatever floats your boat. Employers who give these days off make it even sweeter. Folks are already buzzing about hacking their vacations. Book four days of annual leave from May 5th to 8th around the early May holiday and boom. You snag a nine day stretch with the weekends included. Want more? Add four days from May 26th to 29th after the Spring holiday for another nine days off. Total with just eight leave days? 18 straight days away from the grind. Later this year, we've got the Summer Bank holiday on Monday, August 31st, plus Christmas on Friday, December 25th, and New Year's Day.
