Registration opens in September for World Book Day 2027

Celebrate World Book Day

Join in World Book Day and let’s celebrate reading for fun!

Four stylised, upright books; two coloured purple and two white, are arranged in a row. The books vary in height, and the last purple book is leaning against the others. The background is black, highlighting the colours.
An adult and a child engage in a craft activity, surrounded by supplies on the table, as other children participate in the background.
