What are Bank Holidays?
Bank Holidays are holidays where many businesses (and all banks!) are closed for the day. Many offices and businesses will suspend trading until the next working day, although many service/retail related businesses (shops and restaurants) will experience extremely large volumes of custom, and thus will deliberately stay open. People that work on bank holidays will often experience higher rates of pay.
