Easter Sunday 2027 is 28 March 2027 and Easter Monday 29 March 2027. Good Friday, 26 March 2027, is on the official holiday list too. According to the Dutch government, Easter Monday is a day off at most companies and always for civil servants; on Good Friday you will probably have to work unless your collective labour agreement (cao) says otherwise. Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring; the earliest date is 22 March, the latest 25 April. Easter 2027 is therefore early, and so are Ascension (6 May 2027) and Whitsun. Taking four days of leave after Easter, 30 March 2027 to 2 April 2027, gives 9 days off. With Good Friday off it becomes 10.

The Easter date depends on moon and sun, which is why it jumps. Gauss's formula condenses that into a few steps. For 2027 the ecclesiastical full moon falls on March day 22; the following Sunday comes 6 days later, March day 28. That is 28 March 2027. The tool above shows every step for any year from 2020 to 2050.

Days off at Easter 2027

On Easter Monday the government says most employees are off. On Good Friday it says you will probably work. That changes your plans: without Good Friday a long Easter weekend costs one leave day, with it none.

Common questions

Tap a question to see the answer.

When is Easter 2027?

Easter Sunday is 28 March 2027, Easter Monday 29 March 2027 and Good Friday 26 March 2027. That is early: only 6 days after 22 March, the earliest possible Easter date. So Ascension Day, on 6 May 2027, and Whitsun also come fairly early in the spring of 2027.

Is Easter Monday 2027 a day off in the Netherlands?

At most companies yes, and always for civil servants, says the government. In retail, care or hospitality, check your roster and agreement; people there often work on holidays. The agreement also sets any premium. The law itself gives nobody the day off.

Do Dutch schools have an Easter break?

No, there is no separate Easter break. Schools usually close on Good Friday and Easter Monday, which gives pupils a long weekend. The May break only starts at the end of April. Your school guide lists the exact closing days; schools may add their own study days.
