I'm hoping to try working my part time hours, currently spread across 5 half days, differently by working all day Monday, 8.30-1.00 tues, weds, thurs & then have Friday's off.
I can't get my head around the bank holidays though and what that would mean for me. Would I need to work the Tuesday all day instead of the bank holiday monday, and then still have the friday off in that week?

It got to complicated for my employer to work out so I just get them all. I also get full annual leave but have to take half days as a whole day.

I think it balances out I the end as I avoid taking holidays on my half days as much as possible.

I do 32 hours over 5 days.

I agree it depends on your circumstances. I used to work Tue/Wed/Thur but it felt weird starting my week on a Tues when everyone else was settled back in on Monday, missed the lunchtime "how was your weekend" chat. So I switched to Mon/Tue/Wed and can make up bank hol time on a Thurs (my DCs are at school full time and INSET days tend to be Fridays). I love always having Fri off and I don't get Sunday night gloom as I love my job.
