About spring holidays in Great Britain: features and types

April 13, 2025

On March 1, Wales celebrates St. David’s Day. David is considered the patron saint of Wales, and in his honor, the Welsh Guards parade is held in Cardiff on March 1.

Mother’s Day is also celebrated in the UK, but there is no fixed date for this holiday. It is customary to congratulate your mothers three weeks before Easter Sunday.

March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day. This holiday is actively celebrated in Ireland, and its main attributes are: clover, rainbow, leprechauns, horseshoes and pots of gold. On the day of the patron saint of Ireland, fairs are held, concerts with traditional Irish music are organized, people put on face painting and wear green costumes, and themed events are often held in establishments.

Pancake Day is also held in March – an analogue of our Maslenitsa.

Easter. Easter in the UK is the second most important holiday, after Christmas. The celebration is not much different from ours. The only exception is one of the symbols of Easter in the UK – the Easter Bunny.

April 1 is April Fools’ Day. It has no special significance for the British. As a rule, all the jokes and pranks end in the afternoon.

On April 23, the British celebrate William Shakespeare’s birthday. In Shakespeare’s birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon, a full-fledged festival takes place.

Also on April 23 is St. George’s Day, the patron saint of England.

On the night of May 1, the Celtic holiday Beltane is celebrated. This holiday is also known as Walpurgis Night – the night of witches’ sabbaths.
