Children in Rugby have been celebrating World Book Day 2025 by getting dressed up in bright, beautiful and crazy costumes.

Thursday, March 6, marks World Book Day so children across the borough have been getting dressed up as their favourite characters.

From Harry Potter to Paddington, there is a wide variety of costumes on display this year.

We’d liked to thank everyone who sent their photos in – we received more than 100.

Take a look through at these great World Book Day costumes.
