The Battle of the Boyne holiday on 12 July is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland alone, and the only one anywhere in the United Kingdom during July. Where the date falls on a weekend the day off moves to the following Monday, and it is the last public holiday in Northern Ireland until Christmas.
Outside Northern Ireland, the 31 days of July 2029 contain no public holiday at all, so the working-day count comes down to the weekends alone. Northern Ireland subtracts one day for the 12th, which is the third distinct working-day total the four nations produce over the course of a year.
July 2029 runs to 31 days and opens the second half of a year of 365 days. The tax year that began in April is a third of the way through, and the school year that ended this month does not resume until September in most of the United Kingdom.
