Book Week Costumes 2026 — Book Character Costumes & Dress-Ups for Kids
Book Week 2026 runs 22–28 August, and this year's theme is "Symphony of Stories". Whether you're planning ahead or racing the parade deadline, our Book Week costume range makes it easy: complete book character costumes, wigs, and dress-up accessories for boys and girls, delivered fast Australia-wide.
Find the right costume for every child:
- Girls Book Week costumes — fairy tale princess gowns, ball dresses and character sets with matching wigs included
- Boys Book Week costumes — hero capes, adventure trainer outfits and character sets sized 100cm–160cm
- Quick & easy options — animal ears, noses and tails, character wigs, and accessory sets that turn everyday clothes into a storybook character in minutes
- Last minute Book Week costumes — single statement pieces like a bright character wig or cape that work when parade day sneaks up
Many of our sets include everything in one box — outfit, accessories and wig — with sizing by height so you get the right fit first time. Teachers welcome too: our adult-size character pieces and accessories cover parade duty.
Order by mid-August for guaranteed delivery before parade week — popular sizes sell out every year. Free shipping Australia-wide, backed by our 5-star customer service.
