As one of the most respected history magazines on the market, HistoryExtra Magazine (formerly BBC History Magazine) brings expert insight and captivating content together in one beautifully presented issue. A must-read for anyone fascinated by the past, this title is an essential pick for readers of hobbies & leisure magazines who enjoy uncovering the details of historical events, famous figures, and untold stories.

Expert Insight Into Every Era

Each issue of HistoryExtra Magazine is written by leading historians and curated by a team of experts who are passionate about making history engaging and accessible. From ancient civilisations to the two world wars, the magazine covers a wide breadth of historical topics from Britain and around the globe. Whether you’re interested in medieval monarchs, military strategy, or political revolutions, HistoryExtra Magazine ensures there’s always something to intrigue and inform.

Go Beyond the Headlines

One of the strengths of HistoryExtra Magazine is its ability to dig deeper. Alongside the major turning points in history, you’ll also find features on lesser-known events, overlooked figures, and regional stories that deserve greater attention.

The editorial team also ensures that current events are given historical context. This helps readers better understand the present through the lens of the past, making HistoryExtra Magazine not just informative, but relevant too.

Inspiration for Heritage Adventures

If you’re looking to plan a historical day out, the magazine’s regular sections on heritage sites and cultural attractions are a great source of inspiration. From hidden castles to ancient Roman ruins and interactive museums, the reviews and guides are perfect for history lovers who enjoy exploring their passion away from the page.

The reviews section is another key feature of HistoryExtra Magazine, showcasing the latest history books, documentaries, exhibitions, and podcasts. It’s an excellent way to stay up to date with what’s happening in the wider world of historical content.
