Hi, I have checked your request, but I can't find any information for 2025 that confirms this at the moment
https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays#england-and-wales
I checked the website again and the holiday will probably remain in the same position for 2025
Apologies, I missed your reply from May 13th.
It looks as though I was so focused on filling out the issue form correctly and providing authorative sources that I failed to provide a crucial piece of information - the year!
This issue was with regards to the Early May Bank Holiday for 1995.
The website currently says this took place on May 1st. https://date.nager.at/PublicHoliday/United-Kingdom/1995
In 1995 the date of this bank holiday was May 8th

I rasied this using the "Wrong public holiday" form which created it as a bug
