I Am Producing A 2022 Calendar. Should The Words Bank Holiday Be In Capitals On The Monthly Calendar Pages ?

I am producing a 2022 Calendar. Should the words bank holiday be in capitals on the monthly calendar pages?

I'm thinking that Early Spring Bank Holiday, Spring Bank Holiday, Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday, and Summer Bank Holiday should be. Is this correct, and if so should the words bank holiday on the 27th of December (Christmas Day substitute day) and 3rd of January (New Year's Day substitute day) also be in capitals?

on my Word Calendar none of the bank holidays are in capitals, Easter Sunday is printed as that, not sure if that's a lot of help.

it's down to typographic style, there are no hard and fast rules

If you mean 'BANK HOLIDAY' then no.
If you mean 'Bank Holiday' then yes.

Are you including the different Bank Holidays in Scotland and Ulster?

If you're being pedantic, you should use 'Public Holiday', rather than 'Bank Holiday', throughout for consistency. Christmas Day and Good Friday are NOT bank holidays within the legal definition as such. [Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971]. However they are public holidays.

The usual convention on calendars seems to be to to use capitals at the start of both words for bank holidays. (i.e. 'Bank Holiday'). Where the term 'public holiday' is used instead though, it seems more common only to use a capital letter at the start of the first word (i.e. 'Public holiday').

Thanks for your help guys. Sounds like Bank Holiday is the way to go, it's a photographic calendar featuring Cornish images so only English holidays and St Piran's Day are going to be included.
