Easter Monday

Easter Monday is a bank holiday. Because Easter Day is always a Sunday the bank holiday for this date is moved to the day after.

The Easter Monday bank holiday date changes each year depending on which date Easter falls on. The reason it changes is because Easter Day is the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon (which is the first full moon after 21st March).

This variation in dates means that the Easter Monday bank holiday can range from 23rd March to 26th April.
