Summer Bank Holiday

The Summer Bank Holiday is a public holiday in the United Kingdom, celebrated on the last Monday in August. It originated in the 19th century to provide workers with a day off during the summer, allowing them to relax and enjoy leisure activities. Many people use this time for short vacations, picnics, and festivals. Since it's a bank holiday, most businesses and schools are closed, giving families a chance to spend quality time together. It marks the unofficial end of summer and is one of the key holidays in the UK calendar.
