With World Book Day 2026 (Thursday, March 5) coming up later this week, we’ve taken a look back at how children in South Tyneside marked the event in 2025.
From the Cat in the Hat to Harry Potter, there was a wide variety of costumes on display last year.
All these photos were shared with us via the Shields Gazette Facebook page and we can’t wait to see this year’s costumes!
Take a look back at how the borough’s children celebrated World Book Day 2025.
