Tomorrow being a public holiday, I do not have to work.
It being a public holiday tomorrow, I do not have to work.

Are both sentences correct? I think, strictly speaking, only #2 is correct.

Many thanks.

both are correct, technically speaking... but i think the best way to write it would be:

I do not have to work tomorrow because it is a holiday.

I would hazard a thought:

It being a public holiday, I don't have to work tomorrow...
