About this countdown
This countdown targets St David's Day on Monday, March 1, 2027, set by the rule: March 1. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.
St David's Day is an observance rather than a public holiday, so offices, banks and schools keep their normal hours. Nobody gets a paid day off for it, though plenty of people mark it anyway. St David's Day, March 1, is the national day of Wales, honoring its 6th-century patron saint. It is an observance, not a bank holiday: schools, banks and businesses across Wales and the rest of the UK stay open, though Welsh schools and towns mark the day with parades and concarts.
