No. You will recieve 1 days credit as only one of your days off is a bank holiday (Monday 28th).
There is no such thing as a bank holiday Saturday.
You could take the days credit as overtime instead, if you so wished.

I'm in the same boat.
The Saturday is classed as a "Non service day" So basically we are working 4 days that week and get nothing back,Those whos day off falls on the Friday get the option of day in luei,8 hours pay or if possible a different day off that week,where everyone else will be working a 3 day week.
We get nothing back for it,Just shite luck for us and good luck for those whos day off falls Mon/Tue/Weds/Thurs.
