If you're anything like us, you're already thinking about your summer holidays, weekends away and city breaks. Stealing a day here and there for yourself during the year is always a priority, so thank goodness there are a few staple holidays to bank on.
There are no less than nine Bank Holidays this year, one of them being New Year's Day. We can also book in a duvet day or getaway around St. Patrick's Day, Christmas Day and Stephen's Day.
If you like to kick up your heels on St. Patrick's Day, bear in mind that it's a Tuesday this year so make your plans accordingly!
And with Halloween falling on a Saturday this year, the October Bank Holiday on Monday 26 October will make that week delightfully short.
