A Station of Stories

This World Book Day, Battersea Power Station will launch A Station of Stories, a new year-long celebration of storytelling that brings books, creativity and imagination to life across the riverside neighbourhood in celebration of 2026 being the National Year of Reading.

Across the year, Battersea Power Station will host a series of literary moments designed to turn the iconic landmark into a destination for story lovers of all ages. From playful family experiences to ticketed cultural events, A Station of Stories invites visitors to slow down, get creative and rediscover the joy of a good book.

Across the World Book Day weekend (Friday 6th – Sunday 8th March), families visiting Battersea Power Station can step into the vibrant world of Mr Men Little Miss through a series of interactive activities taking place across the neighbourhood including the treasure hunt, using a specially created Mr Men Little Miss map.

Plus, Battersea Power Station’s cultural spaces and retailers will continue to bring A Station of Stories to life throughout the year including:
