World Book Day

Storybook-friendly costumes that survive a school hall as well as a doorstep. Pirates, witches and wizards without the gore.

Chosen for characters that appear in books children actually read, and for costumes that get through a full school day without a mask to lose or blood to explain. Sized by height in centimetres, so measure rather than guess.

Have a look at pirate costumes, Harry Potter, witch costumes, kids' costumes and classic Halloween.

Order before 3pm Monday to Friday and it leaves us the same day. UK delivery is free over £30 and everything comes with 14 days to send it back.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is World Book Day?
It falls in early March in the UK and schools usually give a few weeks' notice. Ordering in February is comfortable; ordering in the last week is not, as the popular sizes go quickly.

Are masks allowed at school?
Many schools ask that faces stay visible for safety and supervision. Everything in this section works without a mask, which is part of why it is here.

Will it survive a whole school day?
These are the sturdier styles rather than the delicate ones, and none of them depend on a headpiece staying perfectly in place. Hand wash cold afterwards and it will be ready for the next one.
