The date for next year’s extra bank holiday has been confirmed to mark the coronation of King Charles III with Queen Consort Camilla having a smaller coronation ceremony on the same day.

An extra bank holiday has been added to the calendar to mark the coronation of King Charles III in 2023. People in the UK will be allowed time to celebrate as they will have a day off school and work, if their jobs allow it.

This was announced by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Sunday (November 6). King Charles III’s wife, Queen Consort Camilla, will also have a smaller coronation ceremony on the same day.
