Uk Holidays in calendar not updating for year 2022

We are seeing this observation with some regularity - where UK and NL (Dutch) users have noticed that their 2022 Public Holidays are not self-populating despite having subscribed to this calendar. 

The problem appears to be independent of device and iOS/iPadOS version. This might suggest that the issue is with Apple’s back-end - as it is Apple that populate this element of the Calendar. At present, we have seen no comment (official or otherwise) from Apple.

At present there is no workaround. Disabling and re-enabling the UK Calendar has no effect - and neither does restart of the iPad. 

We remain hopeful that the 2022 Holiday Calendar will populate on 1st January 2022. If not, we can perhaps expect to see more reports within the coming weeks.

In the meantime, you might consider seeking assistance directly from Apple Support - and, if you receive useful information, share it with us here.

You can contact the Support Team using the Get Support link at top-right of this page. Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

If this is an issue that requires a software update to fix - as opposed to updating the subscription calendar data - this will be a major a problem for anyone that is unable to update to the updated version.

The problem, as is, affects all versions of iOS/iPadOS. I can confirm that the problem affects owners of iPad and iPhone with iOS 12.5.5, iOS/iPadOS 14.8.1, iPadOS 15.x - and interim versions.

The next software update, when released, may only be for iOS/iPadOS 15.x.

Update…. This issue also affects all versions of watchOS (all apple watches) and all Mac OS ( all MacBooks all models) for all UK users as well as all iPads iPhones as mentioned. This issue was brought to the attention of Apple support UK back on August 21 2021…

We’ll look forward to seeing your update. There are many Users who are [or will soon be] seeking remedy for this issue.

Some users are reporting that their Calendar has updated on their devices - however, there are still many reports that Calendars have not yet received the updated holidays for 2022 onwards.
