About Spring Bank Holiday
The Spring Bank Holiday is a public holiday in the United Kingdom that falls on the last Monday of May. It replaced the older Whitsun bank holiday, which had been tied to the movable Christian feast of Pentecost, with a fixed late-May date set permanently in 1971. Landing at the threshold of summer, it is one of the most popular long weekends of the British year.
For many Britons the Spring Bank Holiday marks the unofficial start of summer, prompting trips to the coast, countryside walks, barbecues and gardening. Some places keep older Whitsun customs, most famously the Cooper's Hill cheese-rolling race in Gloucestershire. Sporting fixtures, music festivals and village fairs cluster around the weekend. Banks, schools and offices close, while shops and tourist attractions typically stay open and busy.
