At present in England and Wales, Easter term begins on the second Tuesday after Easter Sunday and ends on the Friday before the spring holiday, which is the bank holiday on the last Monday in May or any day appointed instead of that day.[1] In Ireland it begins on the first Monday following Easter Sunday and ends on the Thursday before Whitsunday.[2]
