Context
October in England and Wales
October in the UK ends with the clocks going back one hour on the last Sunday of the month, the end of British Summer Time. Most schools take a one-week half-term break in the second half of October. There are no bank holidays, and the month is a steady stretch before the run-up to Christmas.

Printing
Printing tips
- Choose A4 outside North America and Letter in the United States and Canada; the two layouts are otherwise identical, with the same generous margins.
- In the print dialog, set the scale to 100% or "Actual size". "Fit to page" quietly shrinks the grid and softens the lines.
- Portrait is the classic wall format; landscape gives each day a wider box if you write big or plan in two colors.
- For a wall calendar that stays flat, print on heavier paper, around 160 to 200 gsm.

Planning
Planning notes for October 2026
- The first working day of October 2026 is Thursday, October 1, and the last is Friday, October 30.
- No UK bank holidays fall in October 2026, so there is no long weekend this month.
- Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays appear five times this month and the other days four times, so a weekly class, bin day, or payment that falls on one of them comes around once more than usual.
- Clocks go back one hour on Sunday, October 25 across the UK.
