That’s on top of the usual Boxing Day bank holiday on Monday, December 26.
You’ve also got a Bank Holiday on January 2 following New Year’s.
As usual, there won’t be any post on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years’ Day.

Scotland has a public holiday on January 3 so post will get back to normal the following day.
