World Book Day 2025

We have enchanting workshops to super-charge imaginations for World Book Day 2025!

  • Our most popular options are our large group storytelling sessions; led by an engaging and experienced Storyteller, they’ll work with up to 120 of your children to bring celebrated stories to life.
  • Each session explore tales from one continent; choose from stories from Africa, Asia or Europe.
  • We can also work with a class at a time, focusing on an individual children’s book. Tickle the fancy of younger readers with The Gruffalo or The Rainbow Fish.
  • Or, for older readers, our Story Quests or Shakespeare Plays are the perfect way to spark their imaginations.
