Welcome to The Oldie, the magazine that dares to be interesting
How would you like a monthly magazine which is...
- unpredictable and eclectic, and
- where Britain's best writers express themselves freely and passionately
- where books and the arts are reviewed without mercy
- with no whiff of political agenda and
- a sanctuary for all who are irritated by our celebrity-obsessed media and culture
- full of cartoons and is very funny
...and celebrates the unusual and eccentric?
Edited by ex-Private Eye man Richard Ingrams, The Oldie is emphatically not a magazine about retirement. We recognise that what our readers want more than anything else is good writing and amusing articles on a wide variety of topics. It is for any independent-minded reader.
- I Once Met: chance encounters with the famous and infamous
- Modern Life: just what is ‘chickenabiluty’? Or ‘size double zero’?
- Olden Life: time to remember ‘Star Cards’ and the ‘Common Cold Unit’
- Unwrecked England: by Candida Lycett Green
- Still With Us: profiles of people you thought were dead
- God and Mammon: save your soul, then invest your savings
Plus! The Oldie Review of Books is our free 32 page quarterly supplement which gives you a digest of reviews of the sixty best books of the quarter. We compile not just our own views but those of all the national press and leading magazines to ensure you get the best picture. This is in addition to our renowned book sections and reviewers.
So there you have it. Or rather, you don't. It's impossible to cram the full range of our contents and enthusiasms here (we haven't even mentioned our ‘Anorak' or ‘Rant' columns, The Oldie of the Year awards, or our literary lunches...).
