Banned Books Week UK 4-10 October 2026

Banned Books Week UK is an annual celebration of the right to read freely in the UK and beyond. At a time where books are being increasingly challenged, taken off shelves or targeted due to the ideas they hold, Banned Books Week UK brings literature lovers together to celebrate the freedom to read.

 

The annual event encourages everyone to take part – from readers and writers to libraries, schools and bookshops.
