Subscribe to UK Holidays in iCal / iPhone / iPad

Posted on 06/04/2011 by Ben Collier

UK Holiday’s provided by Apple that you can subscribe to in iCal –

webcal://ical.mac.com/ical/UK32Holidays.ics

Been using this ever since I’ve had my Mac and it’s very useful. Works on iPhone and iPad as well.

Thank you – just the information I was looking for, and could not find on the Apple site.

Whoever maintains this for Apple has not added the Jubilee holiday or moved Spring Bank Holiday for 2012.

  Yeah it’s sadly a little neglected. Although I haven’t found a better list yet..

You can also now (2013) download the ICS file from the UK government website:

https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays

Sadly, it isn’t a subscription, but it still save a lot of hassle (I believe the dates are defined up until the end of 2015!)

Enjoy!

Great tool, shame I can’t edit out the Scottish/N irish stuff and just keep England and Wales..?

  Not that I’ve found yet… Very annoying though.

I think this must be the calendar that is stuck in my iphone, and I cant remove it, (in the calendar list, it comes up in the “other” section, just above birthdays. )
anyone know how to uninstall it?

This has been deprecated, you should instead use: webcal://files.apple.com/calendars/UK32Holidays.ics for UK holidays, or search https://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/index.html for other available calendars.
