There’s something magical about that first long weekend when the evenings stretch longer. It’s the official kick-off for al fresco dining, garden centre trips, and pretending you’re a botanist. Pro tip: mark your calendar now, because this one sneaks up on you faster than a bank holiday traffic jam on the M25.
The late May bank holiday, meanwhile, arrives on Monday, 31 May 2027. That means two separate long weekends in the same month—practically a national gift. Use them wisely, or use them lazily; we’re not judging.
