It depends. Is it a summons to attend at the Magistrates Court (ie criminal proceedings)? Or is it a county court summons for a civil matter (like for example an outstanding debt). Each court has its own time limits and procedures. I will be able to answer more fully when you provide this information! PS I am a trainee legal executive!

criminal will include all days, usually a reasonable time to get legal advice.
Civil summons service can exclude certain days, see CPR 1998 rule 6 i think.
