Our members' magazine

National Trust Magazine

As one of our members, you’ll receive a heartfelt ‘thank you’ three times a year. Our award-winning members’ magazine – full of behind-the-scenes stories, beautiful photographs and exclusive offers – will be delivered straight to your door.

Full of behind-the-scenes stories and beautiful photography, the magazine will help you get more from your visits to our places.

In the autumn 2017 issue, we speak to the rangers at Kinver Edge in Staffordshire 100 years after it came into our care and reveal how the Trust inspired creative triplets to produce a unique piece of art. 

Learn more about Quarry Bank in Cheshire, where you can explore the houses of the mill’s former workers and owners for the very first time.

Find out what it’s like to go on a National Trust working holiday, as they celebrate their 50th anniversary this year.

Younger readers can learn about bats and how to make pumpkin pie.

We also invite you to enjoy a taste of Christmas past, as food historian Ivan Day adapts Christmas recipes from our places for a modern day festive feast.

Celebrating 50 years of working holidays 

People have been taking working holidays with us for 50 years. This is a great way to learn skills in a stunning location, meet new people and have a positive impact on the places you love.

Listen to exclusive audio interviews:

When we're creating each issue of the magazine, we record an hour-long audio version presented by Alan Power, who is the Head Gardener at Stourhead, Wiltshire, and the presenter of the Trust’s podcast series and the BBC's Gardener’s World. 

The show covers the main articles from the magazine and includes extra behind-the-scenes chats with our contributors. It’s ideal for those with visual impairment, and anyone who wants to hear exclusive interviews.

You can listen to the show for free on SoundCloud. If visually impaired members would prefer to receive a free CD, email RNIB or phone them on 01733 375 370.
