Dear Friends,

I’m so excited that we’ll be celebrating the 150th birthday of the “Friend” at Alvaston Hall Hotel. This fabulous weekend break is an unmissable opportunity to get together with like-minded people, making new friendships and sharing all that we love about our favourite magazine. You’ll meet members of the “Friend” team, learn about the history of the magazine, enjoy craft workshops and hear talks from contributors. I can’t wait to meet you there!
