What are the public holidays in the Netherlands?

We rely on them to add to our holiday quota, we always hope they fall on a Monday or Friday, and they give us an extra day off, that's right: bank holidays!

As they are about to arrive, to make your life easier Karen, we have grouped the public holidays that fall this year.
