Staying true to the Castle’s heritage and allure, the cart will offer some books following a knight-worthy theme, including the wonderful and popular children’s story, Zog – written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.

And, with Zog being the star of a new 3D interactive trail launching at the Castle this April, it is the perfect time to discover the popular tale.

On the initiative, Liam Bartlett, Operations Director at Warwick Castle said: “We are thrilled to be making this community Book Day Cart available – and to be able to provide so many books to local children, especially after such a difficult year for all.

"We have always been passionate about making education fun and accessible and giving away these wonderful stories is our way of supporting local children this World Book Day.”

To protect the health and safety of those visiting the cart, all the brand new books will be sorted by title into baskets to minimise contact.

Visitors are asked to abide by social distancing at all times.
