Watch The Highlights From Our 150th Anniversary


150th anniversary

Regular visitors to our website (and readers of our magazine!) will know that we celebrated our 150th anniversary in 2019.

It really was a great year for us, filled with so many wonderful moments and memories.

Thanks to the attendance at our reader holidays and programme of events — and even just the volume of letters to our “Between Friends” page — we know you all enjoyed it just as much as we did.

We’ve put together a wee highlights video that we thought you’d like to see. It was screened for the team here just this morning!

Take a look below.

As you can see, you were an important part of our celebrations. And we hope you’ll be just as important to the future of the “Friend”, too!

Because 2020 is year 151 of the world’s longest-running women’s weekly magazine. It may not have quite the same ring to it, but nevertheless we plan to keep up the celebrations, and the momentum.

We’d love for your to come along for the ride with us!
