👀 Ready to make the most of 2026? With just eight bank holidays in England and Wales, there’s a nifty way to stretch your time off to over 60 days! 🏖️✨
Jo Forey from Away Resorts spills the beans on how to maximise your holidays next year. It’s all about clever planning! By strategically booking annual leave around the bank holidays and festive seasons, you can enjoy extended breaks without eating up all your leave days.
Here’s a quick rundown of how to work it out:
🌟 **January**: Start the year right! Book off 2nd Jan, aligning it with the New Year bank holiday, and you could enjoy up to 11 days off straight.
🌼 **April**: Easter magic! Take 8 days off around the bank holidays, and voila, a lovely 16-day vacation.
🌸 **May**: Known for its double bank holidays. By booking 4 days each during both long weekends, you can get 18 days of relaxation!
☀️ **August**: Extend the late summer vibes by taking 4 days off around the August bank holiday and relish 9 days of fun.
🎄 **December**: Holiday cheer starts on Christmas Friday in 2026. Use 7 days to score a 14-day festive break.
🔔 The secret? Planning early! Get ahead of colleagues to ensure your leave is locked in. With smart planning, you can make 2026 a year full of adventures, relaxation, and precious moments with loved ones. 🌍💕
