Notes and tips:

• Bank holidays can affect public services, transport, and financial markets differently by nation (England & Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland). If you’re planning travel or time off, verify the specific region you’ll be in during the date in question.
• Some employers include substitute days around Christmas or collect additional leave around long weekends; check your workplace policy or local guidance if you’re coordinating holidays.

Would you like a country-wide calendar (England & Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland) in a downloadable format (CSV/ICS) for 2025–2026, or a visual chart showing long weekends? I can tailor it to your location in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil if you’re planning international travel.
