Questions about Easter 2028
Why does the date of Easter change every year?
Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the full Moon that falls on or after the spring equinox, which for this purpose is fixed at 21 March. That puts Easter anywhere from 22 March to 25 April (Royal Museums Greenwich). In 2028 it falls in April.
Is Easter Sunday a bank holiday?
No. Easter Sunday is always a Sunday, so it isn’t a bank holiday. The Easter bank holidays are Good Friday and, outside Scotland, Easter Monday.
Is Easter Monday a bank holiday in Scotland?
No. Scotland’s Easter bank holiday is Good Friday only, under the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 (legislation.gov.uk). Scottish councils also set local holidays, which vary by area (mygov.scot).
