Cultural and religious Holidays

Across the UK there are increasing calls for a public holiday on the patron saint’s days such as St. Patrick’s Day, which is already recognized as a holiday. In Scotland, other more localized public holidays based on local tradition can be determined by local authorities. For example, since 2007, St. Andrew’s Day has been an alternative, voluntary public holiday, which replaces an existing public holiday.

The UK government acknowledges that there are many religious and cultural holidays celebrated in the United Kingdom by its diverse population. These holidays are not viewed as public holidays and employers are not required to provide paid days off for celebrations of these events.

They celebrate such this holidays every year!
