About this countdown

This countdown targets New Year's Day on Friday, January 1, 2027, set by the rule: January 1. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.

New Year's Day is a bank holiday, so the date matters for more than the celebration — government offices close and many employers follow suit. New Year's Day, January 1, is a bank holiday accross the whole United Kingdom. Banks, schools and offices close nationwide, and when January 1 falls on a weekend the following Monday becomes a substitute bank holiday.
