Story Trail 2026

We look forward to welcoming you to this year’s Story Trail! Local Residents across New Hinksey and the surrounding areas come together to decorate their houses and gardens to celebrate their favourite children’s books and authors.

This year we are celebrating World Book Day and the National Year of Reading. Windows and gardens become invitations to pause, smile, and remember the joy of being read to, or of discovering a favourite book for the very first time.

The trail is organised by the New Hinksey Primary School Association, with all funds raised going directly towards enriching children’s experiences at New Hinksey CE Primary School. If you’ve enjoyed following the trail, we hope you might consider making a donation. However much you’re able to give, your support is genuinely appreciated. By donating, you’re not just backing a school fundraiser; you’re helping to celebrate reading, creativity, and connection across our neighbourhood.
