National Storytelling Week 2025


When is National Storytelling Week:


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:

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.
