Since 6th April isn’t a bank holiday, you’ve got two choices: sulk or make it a personal holiday. Take a vacation day! Seriously, nobody is stopping you from booking it off. Your boss doesn’t need to know it’s just because you wanted a long weekend.
Another slick move: use it as a “spring reset” day. Since it’s the start of the tax year, it’s a perfect excuse to tidy your finances—check your pension, review your savings, or just finally open that bank statement from February. It feels productive, then you can guiltlessly binge-watch a show.
And if you’re in a country like Scotland, note that they have a bank holiday on 2nd January (for Hogmanay recovery) and then Easter. So 6th April is still a normal Tuesday for most Scots, unless it happens to be Easter Monday, which it rarely is.
Cultural and Fun Facts to Savor
Did you know that 6th April is also “Tartan Day” in the United States and Canada? It celebrates Scottish heritage, tying back to the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320. So if you see someone in a kilt on 6th April, just nod respectfully.
In Thailand, 6th April is Chakri Day, a public holiday honoring the Chakri dynasty. They actually get the day off! So if you’re in Bangkok, you’re in luck. If you’re in London, well, you’re just doing your taxes.

Another juicy bit: 6th April is the birthday of Raphael, the Renaissance painter. He was born in 1483. So you could celebrate by visiting a museum or just staring at a high-quality print of The School of Athens. No bank holiday required.
