Is 2nd January 2023 a bank holiday?

I Show n the UK, we usually get about eight bank holidays a year to celebrate holidays like Christmas and Easter. However, this year, the British public received an extra two bank holidays: one for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June and another for her funeral in September. We’ll also get an extra bank holiday next year for King Charles III’s coronation, taking next year’s total to 11. The bank holidays can fall on different days or dates every year, particularly when a holiday like Christmas falls on a weekend, for example. Therefore, it's important to know when you can expect a day off work so you can plan ahead and book your 2023 holidays. If planned correctly, workers can take advantage of bank holidays to get long holidays while only booking a few days’ annual leave. From Easter dates to the summer bank holiday and new year, these are the important dates you need to put in your diary for next year.

Bank holidays are always a highlight for many of us, with the promise of a long weekend getting many through the week. Every year, hard-working Brits get a handful of days off thanks to bank holidays. We were handed two extra bank holidays in 2022 in honour of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. One to celebrate her historic Platinum Jubilee where the nation came to together to celebrate her 70-year reign and a second as the world mourned following her death on September 6 and the UK paid tribute with a state funeral 10 days later. A number of bank holiday dates have already been confirmed for 2023, though more could be owed to us by the time 2023 comes around. These are the 2023 bank holiday dates confirmed so far:
If a bank holiday is on a weekend, a ‘substitute’ weekday becomes a bank holiday, normally the following Monday. Further bank holidays could still be added to the 2023 calendar, with “all options” still on the table for a possible bank holiday to mark the coronation of King Charles III on May 6. Charles III will be anointed with holy oil, receive the orb, coronation ring and sceptre, be crowned with the majestic St Edward’s Crown and blessed during the historic ceremony. Camilla will also be anointed with holy oil and crowned, just like the Queen Mother was when she was crowned Queen in 1937.
