Get ready for Pyjamarama
Join us this June for one magical day in pyjamas and help BookTrust give every child a bedtime story.
On Friday 7 June, we’re teaming up with some of your favourite children’s characters – Matilda, Ben and Holly, Horrid Henry and Tracy Beaker to get the nation’s children wearing pyjamas for a day and we want you to get involved.
Help us make sure that no child misses out on a bedtime story.
How you can join in the fun
Whether you’re a school, class, nursery or office, our free fundraising packs have everything you need to spend the day in pyjamas – it couldn’t be easier for adults and children alike to take part. Pyjamarama is all about rolling out of bed and staying in your pyjamas – whether that’s patterned PJs or wild onesies – bringing along £1 in support of BookTrust and enjoying a colourful, fun celebration of bedtime stories.
