How Havering differs
- The Summer holiday in Havering starts 1 day later and runs 1 day shorter than in most of England.
That matters for flights: a break that starts a day earlier or runs a week longer puts different days on the table, and the day you leave is often worth hundreds.
The dates

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas holidays | Sat 19 Dec | Sun 3 Jan | Sat 19 Dec – Sun 3 Jan | Same |
| Easter holidays | Fri 26 Mar | Sun 11 Apr | Fri 26 Mar – Sun 11 Apr | Same |
| Summer holidays | Fri 23 Jul | Tue 31 Aug | Fri 23 Jul – Tue 31 Aug | 1d later, 1d shorter |
Havering publishes 3 of the six breaks on its page; the rest of the year follows the national pattern until the council publishes it.
“Can fly” adds the weekend either side where nobody is in school. The weekday and the Sunday are usually the cheapest days of the break to leave on.
