When is Father's Day in 2021?
Father's Day falls on Sunday the 20th June this year.
Why do we celebrate Father's Day?
Originally founded by the Catholic church as a celebration of fatherhood and paternal bonds, Father's Day was on the 19th March which is the feast day of St Joseph (Mary's husband and Jesus' father figure). However, it is now celebrated on the third Sunday of June by the US and many European countries, including the UK. Families use this time to celebrate their fathers, with gifts and a big meal.

Hi! I'm Annie, and I'm the Head Ecommerce Editor at Real Homes. I've been part of the Real Homes team since 2018, when I joined as Deals Editor. Along with covering major sales events — from Black Friday to Amazon Prime Day — I review home must-haves so that you can buy with peace of mind. Mostly focusing on home fragrance and sleep, as well as a few vacuum cleaners, I've tested pretty much every item you can think of that you need in your home. I live on the outskirts of the city in a two-bed apartment with my husband and my pug, Doug. So I am always searching for compact alternatives and ways to save floor space. What about when I am not typing away? Well, you'll find me enjoying an iced coffee (no matter the season) and trying out the latest brunch spots the city has to offer, or booking my next holiday. Where else can you find my words? Livingetc, Homes & Gardens, Ideal Home, Gardeningetc, and Woman & Home.
