We’ve been given an extra bank holiday in 2022 to celebrate the Queen’s 70-year Platinum Jubilee.
This takes place on Friday, June 3 and the annual Spring Bank Holiday — usually the last Monday in May — has been moved to Thursday, June 2, to give us a bumper four-day break to commemorate Her Majesty’s milestone in style.
As Covid restrictions continue to ease, families will be able to visit relatives and friends around the UK.
And many will also look to head abroad for the first time in three years, with holiday firms expecting a flurry of bookings.
The end of most Covid testing requirements before, during and after trips overseas means double-jabbed Brits now usually need just a £30 lateral flow test after returning home.
Alan Price, of BrightHR, said: “You can stretch your time off by booking annual leave around bank holidays.
“It’s best to book annual leave early — as your workmates may have the same idea.”
Our guide to enjoying some extra lazy days, only works if your workplace gives you weekends and bank holidays off.
