UK Bank Holiday weekend plans and forecasts
The Early May Bank Holiday on Monday 4 May includes free access to premium UK place and postcode weather forecasts through Sunday, providing hourly outlooks to help plan outdoor activities. Retailers such as B&M are running May Bank Holiday bonanza sales with discounts up to 50 percent on garden furniture, while some sales offices will close and delivery timetables may change for the holiday. Local events include West Somerset’s free May Bank Holiday Ceilidh at East Quay Courtyard in Watchet featuring Barnbuskers Barn Dance Band, and community services such as Luton Foodbank will be closed on Monday with emergency assistance available via Discover Islam. Transport hubs will see heavier traffic: Cork Airport expects about 61,500 passengers across the weekend and begins a new twice-weekly Aer Lingus service to Nice, so travellers should check timetables before travelling.
