Holidays 2026

Complete guide to public holidays and long weekends to plan ahead

Published on 21/12/2025



 
Planning your 2026 holidays well in advance is an increasingly important strategy for those who want to travel more, whilst making the best possible use of their available leave days.
The 2026 calendar, when examined closely, offers numerous opportunities to create clever long weekends, capable of turning single public holidays into genuine holiday periods.
Indeed, many public holidays in 2026 fall close to the weekend or at the beginning and end of the working week.
With careful planning, this makes it possible to enjoy four, five or even ten consecutive days off by using just one or a few days of leave.
A significant advantage for those in work who want to treat themselves to more frequent trips throughout the year.
