For most of us today is the first day back at work and if you're already wondering when you'll be getting your next day off we have all the details you need.

We've enjoyed one bank holiday this year already as Monday, January 2 was a substitute day for New Year's Day because that fell on the weekend.

And looking ahead there will be seven more days off work for you to look forward in 2017.

There will be two in April - on Good Friday and Easter Monday - this means you'll get a long weekend and a chance to put your feet up and feast on chocolate eggs.

There are a further two more bank holidays in May - on Monday 1 and Monday 29 - so here's hoping the spring weather will be nice.

Here are all the dates you need to know so you can start planning summer barbecues, family days out and some serious relaxation time.
