NEWSPAPERS are still in demand even though we entered a heavily digital era.
But you may be wondering whether newspapers will be published or delivered during the September bank holiday.
Are newspapers published over the Queen funeral bank holiday?
News never stops, so journalists have to be on the go 24/7.
That means that newspaper presses across the UK are running as usual over the September bank holiday.
All national daily newspapers, including The Celeb Report, are available to buy on September 19.
So don’t worry, you won’t miss out on your daily dose of news.
Newspapers are still being published despite it being the September bank holiday
The only day in the year that newspapers aren’t published is Christmas Day – other than that, daily nationals are printed all year long non-stop.
Are newspapers delivered over the Queen funeral Bank Holiday?
Papers arrive in stores as normal over the bank holiday – with newspapers delivered as usual.
But it’s best to check with the shop you have the newspaper delivered from to make sure you still receive yours through the letterbox.
Some smaller newsagents might not provide normal deliveries on this day – or the person on your paper round may be taking a well-earned break.
Also, your local supermarket might be closed or have reduced hours for the bank holiday, so you won’t be able to purchase your newspaper from there.
What are the Bank Holiday dates for 2022?
By the end of 2022, Brits will have had ten bank holidays.
January 3 was a substitute bank holiday for New Year’s Day which was on a Saturday.
Then Brits celebrated Good Friday and Easter Sunday in April and soon after had an Early May Bank Holiday too.
In June, the UK enjoyed a four-day nationwide party to celebrate the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.
That is why the Platinum Jubilee was celebrated from June 2 till June 5.
Then, Brits enjoyed the Summer Bank Holiday on August 29, 2022.
Since the Queen passed away on September 8, 2022, a bank holiday was scheduled to take place on the day of her funeral.
This means that there will be a September bank holiday on Monday, September 19, 2022.
The bank holidays still left for Brits to enjoy this year are:
- December 26, 2022 – Boxing Day
- December 27, 2022 – Christmas Day (Substitute Day)
