February 2027 country calendar
February 2027 has no UK bank holiday, but it is an important school-calendar month. Compare February half-term dates for England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, check Valentine's Day, and use the month view for nearby official bank holidays.
Direct answer
No. The official schedules for England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland contain no bank holiday in February 2027. A date such as a school half-term day or Valentine's Day may affect an individual plan, but it does not create a statutory UK bank holiday or a nationwide closure.
The month still requires regional checking because education calendars do not follow one UK-wide timetable. Wales has an approved February break, Northern Ireland publishes its own mid-term dates, and school dates in England and Scotland are set through the relevant local authority or institution.

Education calendars
A UK bank holiday calendar cannot be used as a school closure calendar. Term dates are governed differently in each nation, and an academy, independent school, college, or university may publish dates that differ from a local-authority pattern. Use the comparison below as a route to the correct source, then confirm the named school before arranging childcare, travel, or attendance.
GOV.UK directs families to the local council for term and half-term dates. Many council calendars found in the February half-term search results, including Essex, place the break onMonday, February 15 to Friday, February 19, 2027. That is not a universal England date: academies and other schools can use different calendars, and INSET days may extend a pupil's break.
The Welsh Government's approved 2026-2027 term-date schedule lists spring half term fromMonday, February 8 to Friday, February 12, 2027 for maintained schools across the Welsh local authorities shown in the official schedule. School-arranged training days are separate, so the institution's own calendar remains the final check for pupil attendance.
Scotland does not use one national February half-term week. Councils publish their own term dates; for example, the City of Edinburgh Council lists a mid-term break fromMonday, February 15 to Friday, February 19, 2027. A family planning outside Edinburgh should use its own council and school calendar rather than transfer that example to another area.
The Northern Ireland Department of Education listsThursday, February 11 and Friday, February 12, 2027 as mid-term dates. Its guidance also notes that schools can operate on published non-operational dates at their discretion to suit individual circumstances. Check the school's notices for development days or any local change.
Date-window comparison
The published school days become more useful when placed beside the surrounding Saturdays and Sundays. The spans below are calendar calculations, not extra public holidays. They apply only where the named authority or school follows the stated term dates, and they can change when an institution schedules a training day.
Wales approved patternThe Monday-to-Friday break on February 8-12 sits between the weekends of February 6-7 and February 13-14. For a maintained school following the approved dates, that produces a nine-day pupil break from Saturday, February 6 through Sunday, February 14.
Northern Ireland mid-termThe listed dates of Thursday, February 11 and Friday, February 12 run directly into the weekend. Where a school uses both dates, the continuous mid-term window is Thursday, February 11 through Sunday, February 14, subject to the Department of Education's discretion note.
England and Scotland examplesA school using February 15-19, as shown by the Essex and Edinburgh examples, joins the weekends of February 13-14 and February 20-21. That creates a nine-day break, but it must not be treated as one national England or Scotland timetable.
Calendar observance
Valentine's Day falls on Sunday, February 14, 2027. It is a calendar observance, not a UK bank holiday, so it does not create an automatic Monday closure. Normal Sunday opening hours, transport schedules, delivery terms, and workplace arrangements remain subject to the provider or employer.
Its position matters for school-break planning. February 14 closes the Welsh half-term weekend and follows Northern Ireland's listed mid-term dates; in English and Scottish areas using February 15-19, it falls just before the break. Use the actual school calendar when a booking or journey depends on the pupil timetable.
Adjacent official dates
The nearest official date depends on the nation selected in the GOV.UK schedule. This comparison is useful when a leave period, invoice deadline, public appointment, or journey begins in late January or continues into March. It also prevents a Scottish or Northern Irish date from being applied to the whole UK.

Choose the governing calendar
For an official bank holiday:Select England and Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland on GOV.UK. The regional schedule, not a generic event calendar, supplies the authoritative bank holiday date.
For a school closure:Use the relevant council, education department, and school website. Training days and institution-level choices can change the days when pupils attend.
For work, payments, travel, or services:Check the employer, bank, agency, transport operator, or service provider. A school break or observance does not by itself change another organisation's hours or deadlines.
For printing and personal planning:Use the month image above or open the UK 2027 PDF calendar collection, then add only the regional dates that apply to you.
