Question: is monday the 4th of may a bank holiday?
Answer: Normally the early May bank holiday falls on the first Monday of May. But in 2020 it won't be on May 4, it will be on Friday, May 8. The Monday directly after the weekend, May 11, is also a normal working day. The Government announced the change of date in June 2019 to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
