Easter Monday is the day after Easter Sunday and continues the Easter weekend. It is a bank holiday in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, where schools, banks and many workplaces are closed. The day follows the central Christian celebration of the resurrection of Jesus, although its modern public character is usually relaxed and social rather than ceremonial. Families may visit relatives, take a spring walk, attend a local fair or make the most of the last day of a long weekend. Egg rolling, outdoor trails and events at parks, museums and heritage sites are among the seasonal activities found in different parts of the country.
The position in Scotland is important when making plans: Easter Monday is not a nationwide statutory bank holiday there, although some councils, employers and institutions still close or grant leave. Elsewhere, public transport frequently runs a Sunday or special timetable, and rail maintenance planned across the Easter period may continue into Monday. Shops and attractions set individual hours, so a bank holiday does not mean that everything is closed—or open. Since Easter changes date each year, school holidays do not always align in exactly the same way across the four nations. Checking local travel, venue and workplace information ahead of time avoids relying on assumptions from a previous year.
