Public holidays in England?

I am doing a project over England for my Communication Aplications 8th Grade class. I want to know what other holidays England has.



Answer:


School holidays vary from county to county, but bank holidays in England are fixed. These are public holidays where all banks and most businesses are closed. Petrol stations and some convenience grocery stores tend to remain open, as do some retail stores. In 2011, everyone in the UK gets and extra bank holiday. Prince William of Wales, the eldest grandson of Her Majesty the Queen, will marry his fiancee Kate Middleton on Friday, April 29th. And to mark the happy occasion, the whole UK has been invited to the party. Nice!
