Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday will not show on calendar but takes place on Friday, June 3, 2022.

Spring Bank Holiday appears incorrectly as Monday, May 30, 2022. The correct date is Thursday, June 2, 2022.

STATUS: FIXED

The issue is fixed in Outlook Beta channel Version 2204 (Build 15109.20000). Fixes are expected for Microsoft 365 production channels in the April public update on 4/12/2022.

If you already have the holiday calendar items on your Outlook Desktop calendar, you will need to delete them.

From your Calendar, choose View > Change View > List.
In the Arrangement group, choose Categories. This will sort all of your events by category.
Scroll through the list of events until you see the Holidays category.
Select one or more holidays. Holidays are sorted by location, which arranges all holidays by country. Once you've selected the holidays you want to delete, choose Home > Delete.
To return to your normal Calendar view, choose View > Change View > Calendar.

Once you have removed the holiday items from your calendar, you will need to add them back. Go to Add holidays to your calendar in Outlook for Windows and follow the steps to add them back.

Note: If you do not delete all the United Kingdom holidays, when you go to add them back you will get this prompt below. In addition, any holidays you did not delete will be duplicated.
