Free UK Time & Countdown Widgets

Add a live UK clock, exam results countdown or next bank holiday widget to your own website in minutes. The widgets are completely free, lightweight and update live in your visitor's browser — no cookies, no tracking and no sign-up required.

How to add a widget to your site

  1. 1Paste the widget div wherever you want the widget to appear on your page — for example<div class="timeinuk-widget" data-widget="uk-clock"></div>.
  2. 2Add the loader script once anywhere on the page (once is enough, even if you embed several widgets):<script src="https://timeinuk.co.uk/widgets/timeinuk-widget.js" async></script>.
  3. 3That's it. The script finds every.timeinuk-widgetdiv on the page and renders the matching widget into it. You can place multiple widgets on the same page with a single script tag.

Prefer not to add a script? Each widget below also has an iframe fallback you can paste instead. If you use the iframe, please keep the visible “Powered by TimeInUK” link below it.

1. UK Clock Widget

A clean, always-accurate live clock showing the current time in the United Kingdom with the date and an automatic GMT or BST label. It updates every second in the visitor's browser and handles the clock changes automatically, so it's perfect for news sites, blogs, expat communities and any page with a UK audience.

Fair use & attribution

These widgets are provided free of charge for use on any website. In return, please keep the visible “Powered by TimeInUK” attribution link so other people can find and use the widgets too. The script method includes the attribution automatically inside each widget; if you use the iframe fallback, please add the attribution link yourself, just outside the iframe. Please don't strip the attribution, pass the widgets off as your own, or resell them. Thank you for keeping the service free for everyone.

Are the TimeInUK widgets free to use?

Yes. The UK clock, exam results countdown and next bank holiday widgets are completely free to embed on any website. There is no sign-up, no API key and no usage limit for normal use.

Will the widgets slow my website down?

No. The widget loader is a single small vanilla JavaScript file with no dependencies, no external requests and no tracking. It loads asynchronously and only updates the time or countdown in the visitor's browser. The iframe fallback is lazy-loaded and equally lightweight.

Do the widgets use cookies or track my visitors?

No. The widgets set no cookies, use no localStorage, make no external network requests and collect no personal data. They are fully privacy-friendly.

Can I use an iframe instead of a script?

Yes. Each widget has an iframe fallback that loads from timeinuk.co.uk/widgets/embed.html. This is useful if your CMS or hosting platform blocks external scripts. If you use the iframe, please keep the visible "Powered by TimeInUK" attribution link outside the iframe.

Do I have to keep the TimeInUK attribution link?

The widgets are free in exchange for a visible attribution link back to TimeInUK. The script method includes a small "Powered by TimeInUK" link inside the widget automatically. If you use the iframe, please add the attribution link yourself outside the iframe. Thank you for supporting this free service.
