An Irish calendar, not a British one
Irish public holidays differ from the UK's. Ireland has St Brigid's Day and St Patrick's Day, June and October bank holidays instead of the late May and August Mondays, and St Stephen's Day rather than Boxing Day. Good Friday isn't a public holiday at all. This calendar follows the Irish list, prints on A4 and starts weeks on Monday.
Public holidays in 2027
- New Year's Day: Friday 1 January
- St Brigid's Day: Monday 1 February
- St Patrick's Day: Wednesday 17 March
- Easter Monday: 29 March (Easter is early this year)
- May bank holiday: Monday 3 May
- June bank holiday: Monday 7 June
- August bank holiday: Monday 2 August
- October bank holiday: Monday 25 October
- Christmas Day and St Stephen's Day fall on Saturday and Sunday, so Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 December are the substitute days.
Also marked: Pancake Tuesday (9 February), Mother's Day (7 March), Father's Day, Halloween, and the clock changes on 28 March and 31 October.
Ideas for using it
Schools can mark mid-term breaks and the Easter holidays; families can plan around the long weekends. This preset prints in landscape, which suits a noticeboard. Choose the 12-page layout for a full month on every page, or the weekly planner for dated weeks.
