When Do the Clocks Go Forward in 2029?
The clocks go forward on Sunday, 25 March 2029, the last Sunday of March, starting British Summer Time for 2029.
The date and time
At 01:00 GMT on Sunday, 25 March 2029 the clocks jump to 02:00 BST. That night is one hour shorter, so any plans or events that straddle 01:00 to 02:00 need a note about which clock they use.
Phones, laptops and smart devices adjust on their own, but you will need to change ovens, microwaves, wall clocks and many car dashboards.
What you gain
Evenings are lighter from the day of the change. In London the sun sets after 19:00 within days, and by April most days have light until around 20:00.
