Returning back to work after a sunny bank holiday is never easy, but thankfully we don't have to wait for long until the next one.

May brings not one, but two bank holidays - hooray - and our second long weekend maybe closer than you think.

As temperatures smashed bank holiday records on Monday (May 7) many of us will be keeping our fingers crossed for a repeat performance at the end of the month.

When is the next bank holiday in May?

Monday May 28 2018

Traditionally, the early May bank holiday, also known as May Day , is an ancient northern hemisphere spring festival spent maypole and Morris dancing.

The second public holiday in May started as the Monday after Pentecost and is known as Whit Monday.
