Celebrate National Storytelling Week at home

When is National Storytelling Week?

In 2025, National Storytelling Week will be taking place from Saturday 1 February to Sunday 9 February.

What is National Storytelling Week?

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.

What is this year’s theme for National Storytelling Week?

The theme for National Storytelling Week 2025 is ‘Reimagine your world’. Whether it’s something unexpected on a walk in the park, odd sounds you hear at night, or a path you’ve never followed, the world around us is full of secret lives, places and possibilities. The most extraordinary story can come from the most ordinary place: it just needs someone to find it.
