Congleton's incredible World Book Day costumes 2026
By Matthew Hancock-Bruce 5th Mar 2026
World Book Day never fails to deliver.
Children across the country have been heading into school dressed as their favourite literary characters today (Thursday, March 5).
Here in Congleton, we saw classics such as Little Red Riding Hood and Where's Wally to more contemporary choices, including David Beckham and the Wild Robot.
Click through the gallery above to see some of the best costumes sent in by Congleton Nub News' readers.
World Book Day was created by UNESCO in 1995 with the aim of promoting a love for books and reading.
In the UK, World Book Day is a registered charity and is celebrated on the first Thursday in March.
"Today, only one in three children likes reading. By changing this, we'll transform lives," reads the charity's website.

"Young people are more likely to read if they see it as a fun, entertaining and social thing to do.
"That's what our work is all about; inspiring them to see reading differently.
"Together, let's help every child enjoy the life-changing benefits of reading for fun."
