What it does
Most service businesses have days that break the usual pattern. Public holidays, company events, seasonal changes and shortened or extended hours all mean the regular weekly schedule stops being accurate. If the calendar keeps offering normal slots on those days, customers book times you cannot honor, and someone has to sort out the confusion by hand.
This add-on works inside your existing Bookly setup. You pick a date or a range of dates, define the hours that apply, and optionally set a different price. On those days the special schedule overrides the regular one, so clients only see the slots you have chosen. Recurring special days cover annual holidays or seasonal adjustments, and everything is managed from a straightforward interface.
Best for
- Salons, clinics and studios that close or change hours on holidays
- Service businesses charging different rates in peak seasons
- Bookly users managing events or seasonal schedule changes
Features
Custom dates and date ranges
Set specific single dates or whole date ranges with their own availability to cover holidays, special events or altered working hours.
Special pricing
Apply different prices on special days, such as higher rates during peak seasons or reduced rates for particular events.
Recurring special days
Schedule special days that repeat, such as annual holidays or seasonal changes, so you do not have to reenter the same adjustments each time.
Regular schedule override
On the dates you select, the special schedule automatically replaces your regular hours, which helps prevent bookings at times you are unavailable.
Flexible time slots
Customize the available hours on a special day to reflect a shortened or extended work period and control exactly which appointment slots appear.
Managed within Bookly
Add and edit special days directly in your existing Bookly system through an interface that requires no technical expertise.
Accurate options for clients
Customers see booking options that match your real availability, which reduces scheduling misunderstandings around holidays and special occasions.

Questions about Bookly Special Days
Do I need Bookly for this add-on to work?
Yes. This is an add-on for the Bookly appointment system, and special days are added and managed directly within your existing Bookly setup. It extends the booking calendar you already use rather than working as a separate scheduling tool.
Can I charge a different price on holidays or special dates?
Yes. You can apply special pricing to specific days or date ranges. That lets you set higher rates for peak seasons or holidays, or lower rates for particular events, while your regular pricing stays in place on normal days.
Will I have to reenter holidays every year?
No. The add-on supports recurring special days, so you can schedule annual holidays or seasonal changes once and have them repeat. This saves you from making the same calendar adjustments over and over.
What happens to my regular hours on a special day?
On the dates you select, the special schedule overrides your regular one. You can shorten or extend the working hours for that day, and clients will only see the appointment slots you have defined for it.
