The Easter weekend, 2027
| Day | Date | Bank holiday? |
|---|---|---|
| Good Friday | Friday 26 March 2027 | Yes, across the UK |
| Easter Saturday | Saturday 27 March 2027 | No |
| Easter Sunday | Sunday 28 March 2027 | No (a Sunday). The clocks also go forward an hour at 1am that morning. |
| Easter Monday | Monday 29 March 2027 | England, Wales and Northern Ireland; not Scotland |
One to watch: in 2027 the clocks go forward on Easter Sunday itself, so the long weekend loses an hour at 1am on Sunday 28 March.
Easter school holidays are set by each council or school, not nationally, and in 2027 many will fall around Friday 26 March–Monday 29 March. Check your council’s term dates, or subscribe to your school’s calendar feed and let it arrive by itself.
Mother’s Day (Mothering Sunday) is three weeks before Easter Sunday: Sunday 7 March 2027.
