Interesting quiz, and fun! but I think maybe some amendments may be in order...

New Year's Day is just one day in England and Wales (1 or 2 Jan) but two in Scotland (1, 2, 3)

I didn't get anything for typing in "Battle of the Boyne"

The Late Summer Bank Holiday is almost always known simply as "August Bank Holiday". Also the government website just calls it "summer bank holiday"

27 and 28 December aren't bank holidays unless Christmas falls on a Saturday or Sunday, so you might want to write those out in the same way as for New Year's Day (with 25/26/27 etc.) On the other hand you might not want to of course!

According to the Scottish government website, most of your Scottish days aren't actually holidays at all...

Finally I don't think there's any such thing as a "public holiday" in Britain, they're just called Bank Holidays.
