This announcement comes hot on the heels of the news that the 2015 Christmas double was the biggest-selling issue in the magazine’s history, selling over 60,000 copies in total  - more than the 6069 issues that have gone before it - and Country Life winning the coveted BSME award for Scoop of the Year.

Editor Mark Hedges, who is approaching 10 years at the helm, says: ‘Country Life is a remarkable magazine performing exceptionally well.

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
