What's it all about?
The Week is a (you guessed it) weekly current affairs magazine that helps you escape from the noise of the news. Their award-winning team scours over 200 global media sources and stitches together the key facts and opinions into one great read. Not only will it give you a refreshingly balanced perspective on hard-hitting headlines, you’ll also get an entertaining roundup of the best music, art, books, food and more.
What The Week means to me
In-between family, work and what life brings during a global pandemic, stealing an hour for myself on a Sunday morning with a cuppa to read The Week offers me so much more than just the news. It’ll come as no surprise that I’m always eager to get to the property section, but to be able to read news that’s not overwhelming, and is still entertaining is a blessing.

Don't just take my word for it!

Great magazine! Great summary of news and press around the world - look forward to it every week.

Easy and enjoyable news round up. Concise and well curated periodical, covering the main topics and a good selection of non-headline news items.

I enjoy The Week so much that I watch my post box scrupulously for its arrival...I can't imagine my week without it!
