National Storytelling Week
February 1 - February 9
National Storytelling Week takes place every year and is a 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.
In 2025, National Storytelling Week will be taking place from Saturday 1 February to Sunday 9 February.
What is the theme for National Storytelling Week?
The theme for National Storytelling Week 2025 is ‘Reimagine your world’. Whether it’s something unexpected on your way to school, 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.
National Storytelling Week will be a celebration of both storytelling and writing for pleasure. At a time when young people’s writing enjoyment levels are at their lowest, National Storytelling Week has never been more important.
The classroom activities span early years, primary and secondary, and we’d love you to take part in all elements for your phase.
