World Book Day: fab photos from schools in Carrickfergus, Larne and Newtownabbey

Children throughout the Carrickfergus, Larne and Newtownabbey areas enjoyed all the fun of World Book Day 2026 by dressing up as their favourite characters, enjoying a ‘cosy read’ in their pyjamas, or chatting about their favourite books.

Alongside some fab photos taken at World Book Day celebrations at Victoria Primary School in Carrickfergus, we asked our readers to share photos of their children dressed up for the occasion and we were delighted with the response.

Thanks to everyone who shared these fun-filled pictures.
