It often falls during or close to schools' late-May half-term break, although school term dates are set locally and can differ.

Half term

The Spring Bank Holiday often overlaps with late-May half term, but school dates are not identical everywhere. Check your area in the School Holidays section and confirm important plans with the school itself.
