We’ve delighted to announce that our annual Schools Day will be back in 2027, on Thursday 20 May at the Cambridge Union Debating Chamber.

We’re currently programming the authors for both the Primary and Secondary parts of the day, and will share more news soon.  

“Incredibly engaging and inspiring for the children.”

– Teacher feedback, Schools’ Day 2025

As always, this event is completely free. Every attending pupil will receive a free, signed copy of one of our guest author’s books to take home, and there may be some travel bursaries available again this year too. If you’d like to be the first to receive updates about the Schools Day, you can register your interest below.

We look forward to welcoming you and your pupils to a celebration of reading and storytelling.
