Country Illustrated

Country Illustrated is the fastest-growing high-quality national magazine for the countryside. It exists to promote every angle of country life, including its prosperity.

Our readership consists of intelligent men and women with income to spare, to whom the best things in life come naturally. They own houses, estates, farms, shoots, horses, dogs, salmon beats and large gardens.

Our readers are active participants in country life: they buy cars, horseboxes, guns, fly-rods and saddlery, country (and city) clothes, insurance, fine foods, wines and whiskies. They build stables, kennels and conservatories. They holiday in Britain and worldwide, for sport and leisure. They collect pictures and antiques. They buy and sell country houses (more often than is generally thought).

Our advertisers have the added assurance of reaching Country Illustrated’s large and affluent pool of 31,000 existing subscribers, allied to the 11,000 copies on sale every month at newsagents nationwide. Country Illustrated has rapidly become a much loved and respected feature of the countryside, bought to be read for the whole month and more.

Country Illustrated’s advertisement rates are highly cost-effective. We bring our advertisers’ products and services to the attention of our readership at a lower price per thousand readers than any other country monthly. And we offer a full design and production service.

Our copy deadlines are structured to meet the needs of our advertisers, taking bookings as late as 9 working days before publication. We work hard so that our advertisers can be sure of having a full-colour, national advertisement in next week’s issue.
