There is nothing more joyous than curling up on a squishy sofa, or an outdoor sun lounger, sipping on a cup of tea (or glass of wine) and letting yourself become enveloped in the pages of a good magazine.

Good journalism can make us feel more connected, more informed and more content, it can transport us to world’s we might never have heard of and give us insight into topics from experts we would never be able to get an audience with.

In short, a good magazine is akin to a good book, it wraps us up in a heady mixture of the worlds and words of others and those of our own.

And the UK has some of the best magazine offerings, from the sage, well-respected advice of Good Housekeeping - packed with recipes - to The Critic, Britain’s newest monthly current affairs magazine for politics, art and literature.

Netflix is great, Amazon Prime full of delights and all those books on our bedside table are lovely too (if we could ever get round to reading them), but a magazine can be read to suit our mood: whether you flick through and dip in where you fancy or read through each page meticulously.

There are now better subscription deals than ever to be had, so if you were thinking of treating yourself... now is the time.
