Welcome to Maidenhead's Big Read
We're big fans of reading, there is truly no greater pleasure in life than curling up in a big armchair and getting lost in a good book, magazine or comic. So you can imagine how ecstatic we are to announce the second Maidenhead's Big Read, coinciding with World Book Day in March.

​ 28th February to 8th March 

Big Read Inspiration Theatre

Big Read Stop
Bringing bestselling authors, illustrators, prominent politicians and influential journalists to the theatre to share their stories and lives with the public.

Inspiring young readers

We are proud to be working with a number of local schools to bring reading and books to life, inspiring our young generation.

Several authors are visiting schools to share their passion for writing and read to children and a very special visitor, The Highway Rat, is also going on tour to meet and greet young fans!
Incorporating the bookshop, book swap, reading groups and display areas. A place to relax, unwind and curl up with a book, magazine or comic,  let your imagination run wild! 

Drop Everything and Read

At 10am on Thursday 5th March 2020 (World Book Day) we invite you to join us in dropping everything and picking up a book.

Children, teachers, parents, work colleagues, join in wherever you are!  Lets give it a go! Drop everything and pick up a book for just 5 minutes.  Lets get all of Maidenhead reading at the same time!
