Father's Day in the UK: When is it?
Father's Day in the United Kingdom is celebrated on the third Sunday in June.
2026 Father's Day will be celebrated on Sunday 21st June 2026.
Father's Day History
Father's Day in the United Kingdom is a relatively recent holiday, having only been celebrated since the early 20th century.
It's not a public holiday, but it is a day to honor fathers and father figures, such as grandfathers and stepfathers.
Usually celebrated on the third Sunday in June, Father's Day is an occasion for children to show appreciation for their fathers and for adults to recognise the important role that fathers play in society.
Father's Day here in the UK is not as widely celebrated as it is in other countries, such as the United States and throughout other Catholic based countries, but it is still a meaningful and important holiday for many people.
It has been suggested that Father's Day is directly related to St. Joseph, who is a saint in the Catholic Church. St. Joseph is the patron saint of fathers, and his feast day is celebrated on March 19th. However, Father's Day is secular in nature and in reality has nothing to do with religion, and is not directly connected to the celebration of St. Joseph or any other specific saint.
The modern holiday is intended as a way for children to show appreciation and gratitude to their fathers for the love and support they provide. It is also a way for families to come together and celebrate the important role that fathers play in their lives.
