Lego: free kids’ magazine delivered four times a year
If you’ve got kids aged between five and nine, chances are they love Lego. You can sign up and get the Lego magazine delivered to your door every three months for free, including delivery. If you don’t have a Lego account already, you’ll need to sign up.
The next issue comes out in November.
BBC: Limited edition evolution poster and info from the Open University
Get a free, limited edition, poster of the evolutionary tree of life – along with a load of reading on the different theories too.
It’s based on what you might have seen on the BBC show Evolution, which was co-produced by The Open University, and supported by leading OU academics specialising in evolution, ecology and the history of life on Earth.
Orders will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Free magazine subscription with Lloyds bank
You can get a year’s subscription to a number of titles if you open a Club Lloyds current account. I use this to get a year of Empire, though you might be better off with the alternative freebies such as 6 cinema tickets or a year of Disney+ Standard with Ads.

Digital magazine offers
Free digital magazines from your library
Most libraries have a way to get free access to dozens of titles via your phone or computer. I’ve written here about how you can get a load of digital magazines via your local library.
The Athletic: £1.50 per month for a year
The Athletic is offering access to the site for £1.50 per month for a year.
After the year ends, you’ll be charged £12.50 per month, so make sure you cancel beforehand if you don’t want to pay full price.
Magzter: One year for £35.95 or less
Magzter is an online digital subscription where you can access more than 8,000 magazines. You can read the magazines on any iOS or Android device via the Magzter app.
This offer on Groupon gives you access for £35.95 rather than £149.99. And if you combine it with a code you might be able to save more.
There are plenty of UK titles such as Total Film, Reader’s Digest, BBC Good Food, Marie Claire and Woman & Home, as well as international faves such as Entertainment Weekly. There’s also randomly Spurs and Everton match programmes!
You can have five separate accounts with the subscription so it’s a good option for a family.
It does auto-renew after the year so be sure to cancel it before the year is up.
Readly: Two-month free trial
This subscription service costs £7.99 a month. You can currently get two months for free.
Which? Magazine: deal stack (ended)
You can combine up to three different deals to bring down the price of an annual subscription to the ‘full access’ Which? magazine.
- 50% off via Which? (ends 30 April 2025) – this takes the price to £49.50
- 30% cashback from Quidco or TopCashback
- Around 50% back via American Express (ends 30 April 2025)
Not everyone will be able to get the Amex offer (you need to check your card offers and add it to the card if it’s showing), but the other two options are there for all.
It means you’ll pay Which? £49.50 for a full access subscription, and then get around £15 back from the cashback site (the rate varies so check both). Remember to apply via the cashback site and close any Which? tabs that are open.
If you have Amex you’ll save more again. We’ve seen 50% off a £30 spend, but other deals may be out there as these vary by cardholder, and there’s a chance you won’t see the offer at all. But say you get 50% off the price paid, that’s another £24.75 off.
There’s a chance this last part is dependent on clicking through from the Amex app, but it wasn’t when Andy did this in December 2022, so it should be fine this time too.
All in that could mean you pay just £9 for one year, saving more than 90%.
Bear in mind you’ll be charged the full £99 after 12 months if you don’t cancel.
And if you’ve not used Quidco or TopCashback there’s a new welcome bonus worth up to £18 you can nab on top.
