The world’s longest-running women’s weekly magazine

Celebrating its 155th anniversary in 2024, “The People’s Friend” was given a fresh and exciting new look for its 155th anniversary.
The “Friend” first arrived on shelves on January 13, 1869, the same year the Cutty Sark was launched in Dumbarton, making it the world’s longest-running women’s weekly magazine (we’re an official Guinness World Record Holder!)

It has evolved through the years to reflect changing times, but the family values at the heart of the “Friend” have remained throughout.

The only weekly magazine dedicated to fiction, “The People’s Friend” publishes over 900 original short stories every year and has championed new writers since day one.

Each issue offers terrific serials and carefully chosen short stories – an impressive fiction collection sitting alongside expert features covering topics including cooking, craft, travel, health and wellbeing, nostalgia and more.

Accompanied by beautiful illustrations and imagery, “The People’s Friend” is instantly recognisable around the world.
