Collector’s Note

Vintage travel magazines like Coming Events in Britain are prized as mid-century cultural snapshots—blending tourism, design, and everyday life into a richly illustrated record of place and time. Collectors often seek out individual issues to complete a year, highlight special content, or connect with meaningful dates.

Coming Events in Britain was a monthly magazine published from at least the mid-1940s trough the 1980s, created for those with an affection for the United Kingdom. Issues include a calendar of events across England, Scotland, and Wales, along with travel resources and period advertising. Editorial content is written in engaging story format and extends beyond travel to explore Britain’s heritage and traditions.

Featuring vivid color photography capturing historic landmarks, countryside views, and everyday scenes across England, Scotland, and Wales. Along with stunning photography, the 1964 issues feature engaging articles and editorials exploring Britain’s past and present. Topics range from traditional pastimes such as Puppets at Islington (July-1964) to Devon and Cornwall Revisited (November-1964) and the Yeomen Warders of the Towers (December-1964).

Framing Appeal

Coming Events in Britain full-color covers work beautifully as display pieces. Measuring 8 ½" x 11", they can be easily framed for a study, library, or gallery wall. Collectors and decorators alike often group multiple issues together or rotate them seasonally creating a changing display of British landscapes, architecture, and cultural scenes throughout the year.

Issues sold individually. Available months from 1964 include July, August, September, October, November, and December.

Publisher's Note

Published by the British Travel and Holidays Association of London—then the official tourism body of Great Britain at the time—Coming Events in Britain served as both an invitation and a guide for domestic and international travelers alike. Today, it stands as a compelling example of mid-century travel promotion and printed ephemera.

The softcover magazines are in very good condition overall. They show light, expected age wear, including occasional small tears, minor ink notations, and in a few cases, covers beginning to loosen but still securely attached at the staples.
