Good to know
- Dates worked out from the date-holidays rules, version 3.37.0, and checked day by day against Nager.Date’s for 2026 to 2028.
- 2016 wasn’t among the years checked; its dates follow the same rules.
- Days marked “banks and offices closed” aren’t public holidays, but banks and many offices close.
- A holiday declared at short notice, for an event or an election, may be missing.
