World Book Day

Full CalendarSchool Events

This event will take place between 9:00am and 3:20pm on 06/03/2026

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are excited to let you know that Milton Mount Primary School will be celebrating World Book Day on Friday 6th March 2026.

To ensure the children can fully enjoy the day (and make the most of their costumes!), we will be celebrating on the Friday with a fun-filled day of reading and book-related activities across the school. Classes will take part in a range of exciting experiences designed to promote a love of reading and celebrate the power of stories.

Children are invited to come to school dressed as:

  • A favourite book character, or
  • Something linked to a book that will be showcased in our annual morning parade.

Our Morning Book Character Parade is always a highlight of the day, where each class will have the opportunity to showcase their costumes and share the books that have inspired them.

Costumes do not need to be elaborate or expensive; creativity is what matters most! We love seeing homemade ideas and imaginative interpretations of well-loved stories. Please click the link below for some low-cost dressing up ideas:

We can’t wait to celebrate reading together and make this year’s World Book Day another memorable one for the Milton Mount community.

Thank you for your continued support.
