Many shops, businesses and workplaces will shut up shop on Monday, May 25 for the long weekend. But this bank holiday will be different from last year, with the UK now in its ninth week in lockdown. so instead of having friends and family round for a barbecue this weekend, you may find yourself heading online for zoom quizzes instead.

You can still enjoy a barbecue or a drink or two from the comfort of your own home, however.
