How to use this page One event a quarter is plenty.

Do not post on all of them. Pick one a quarter your customers care about, 4 across the year, which is what is free. Open the event's page and take part: you get up to 8 dates, written for your trade, and the first 4 are free.

Post on the dates it gives you, while people are still planning, not after.

The flag marks a trading day: a date when people spend, not just scroll. Build an offer around those, not just a post.

All of next year

All of 2027, month by month

15 of these are trading days, not just posting days.

Where the dates come from

We follow the official UK bank holiday rules, including the replacement days when a holiday falls on a weekend. Dates that change each year, such as Easter and Mothering Sunday, are worked out for each year rather than copied from last year.

  • All UK bank holidays, including Scotland's dates and the substitute days when Christmas falls at a weekend

    GOV.UK

  • The statutory basis for bank holidays and substitute days: Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971

    legislation.gov.uk

  • School term dates are set locally. Look yours up by postcode rather than trusting a national list

  • Small Business Saturday UK takes place on the first Saturday in December
