Frequently asked questions
Which UK bank holidays should I prepare a greeting for?
The eight England & Wales bank holidays: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Early May Bank Holiday, Spring Bank Holiday, Summer Bank Holiday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Scotland and Northern Ireland have additional dates.
Should the greeting mention specific dates?
Yes. "Closed Friday 25 December and Monday 28 December, reopening at 9 a.m. Tuesday 29 December" is far more useful than "closed for Christmas".
When should I switch to the bank holiday greeting?
Two working days before the closure starts, so callers planning ahead get the right info. Switch back the morning you reopen.
