About this countdown
This countdown targets Summer Bank Holiday on Monday, August 2, 2027, set by the rule: First Monday in August. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.
Summer Bank Holiday is a bank holiday, so the date matters for more than the celebration — government offices close and many employers follow suit. Scotland's Summer Bank Holiday falls on the first Monday in August, weeks before the rest of the UK takes its late-August break. It is a bank holiday rather than a general day off: banks may close, but most Scottish shops, attractions and workplaces cary on as usual.
