Saturday and Sunday · A public holiday does not always close every business. Essential services, shops and some industries keep working, and pay rules differ by country and contract.
The Summer Bank Holiday is the last public holiday of the summer in the Channel Islands, observed on the last Monday of August in both Guernsey and Jersey. It is a secular holiday, and for many families it is the last long weekend before the new school year, used for beach trips, boating, picnics and family gatherings.
In the Channel Islands the long weekend is also a time for local fairs, regattas and open-air events. In England and Wales the same Monday is the Summer Bank Holiday, and in London the Notting Hill Carnival is held on the Sunday and Monday of the weekend, one of the largest street festivals in Europe. In Scotland the date differs, because the Scottish summer bank holiday is the first Monday in August. The islands also have their own Liberation Day on 9 May, which recalls the end of the German occupation in 1945 and is separate from the bank holidays.
