National Story Telling Week
Monday 2nd - Sunday 8th February 2026
"Created by Society for Storytelling, this fantastic annual event is a joyful celebration of the power of sharing stories. Stories teach us about the world; they allow us to step into someone else’s shoes and feel empathy; they help us to relax and escape and they can help develop essential literacy skills. National Storytelling Week 2026 is a celebration of oral storytelling, reading and writing for pleasure. At a time when young people’s writing and reading enjoyment levels are at their lowest, National Storytelling Week has never been more important." - The National Literacy Trust
The 5 a Day Story Sack Challenge
Join us for our 5 a day story telling challenge this National Story Telling Week! It's as easy as 1,2,3 (4, 5!). Give your child the chance to hear 5 stories every day for 7 days between the 2nd and 8th February, share some feedback about your story journey with us and as a well done we'll be giving away some FREE story play sessions! I know there are LOTS of reasons many families will feel they can't join in so I've been busy planning ideas and resources to give you all a head start.
