2027 Calendar UK

This 2027 calendar UK puts the whole year on one A4 page, with bank holidays for England and Wales marked in yellow and listed at the bottom. Weeks start on Monday, the way most British calendars do. Download the free PDF, print it at home and plan your year at a glance.

Navy month headers keep the page smart and easy to read. It suits a kitchen, a home office or a staff room.

Bank holidays in 2027

The year begins with New Year's Day on Friday 1 January, which gives you a long weekend straight away. Good Friday is on 26 March, and Easter Monday follows on 29 March, so Easter comes early this year. The Early May Bank Holiday is Monday 3 May, and the Spring Bank Holiday is Monday 31 May. The Summer Bank Holiday falls on Monday 30 August.

Christmas needs a closer look. Christmas Day is a Saturday and Boxing Day is a Sunday, so the substitute days fall on Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 December. That makes a four day break with no leave at all.

Scotland and Northern Ireland

This page shows the dates for England and Wales. Other nations differ a little. In Scotland, 2 January is also a bank holiday, with a substitute day on Monday 4 January, the summer holiday falls on Monday 2 August and St Andrew's Day is on 30 November. Easter Monday is not a bank holiday there. Northern Ireland adds St Patrick's Day on 17 March and the Battle of the Boyne on 12 July. Add these by hand if they apply to you. You can read more on Wikipedia, and the full official list is on GOV.UK.

Plan your leave with a 2027 calendar UK

A few days of annual leave can go a long way. Take the four days between Good Friday and Easter Monday in the week before or after, and eight days of leave becomes sixteen days off. May is good as well, since each of the two bank holidays gives you a chance to make a short break. For the summer, book early, as the end of August is a busy time for trains and flights.

• Mark school half terms from your local council's website.
• Add MOT, car tax and insurance renewal dates.
• Note the bin collection weeks for the year.
• Remember the clocks: forward on 28 March and back on 31 October.
• Share one copy with your team to plan who is off when.

Dates worth adding

Some days are not bank holidays but are worth a note. Mother's Day in the UK falls on 7 March, and Father's Day on 20 June. Pancake Day is on 9 February. Bonfire Night is a Friday this year, on 5 November, and Remembrance Sunday is on 14 November. There is also just one Friday the 13th, in August.

Using your 2027 calendar UK at home

Stick it to the fridge and give each person a colour. Add football practice, dentist visits and days the kids need a packed lunch. A family that shares a 2027 calendar UK tends to have far fewer last minute panics. Check it together on Sunday evening. It only takes a few minutes, and it pays off all week long. Keep a spare copy for the grandparents too.
