Saga Magazine

1 May 2023

Hello, and a warm welcome to your May issue of Saga Magazine. We hope it finds you well. This month, we’re celebrating the King’s Coronation with an intimate insight into Charles III from broadcaster, author and friend of the royals Gyles Brandreth. Plus, we’ve picked some top Coronation treats to help you mark the occasion from red, white and blue bunting to regal tea towels and tableware, as well as specially selected wines to raise a glass to His Majesty. For many, this will not be the first time you’ll be toasting a new monarch. Read some wonderful memories of the crowning of the late Queen on our letters pages. Elsewhere, as he leaves Radio 2 for pastures new, we chat with Ken Bruce about his latest show on Greatest Hits Radio – and give you the chance to test your music knowledge in the Popmaster quiz. We also catch up with Great British Menu host Andi Oliver, who talks about her debut cookbook and shares some of her delicious Caribbean-inspired recipes. In a bumper issue, you’ll also find useful gardening advice from Kew’s kitchen gardener, as well as travel inspiration – and don’t miss our go-to guide to the best festivals this summer. Our superb regular columnists, such as Jeremy Paxman, Jenni Murray, Susie Dent and money expert Paul Lewis, are here too. Plus, all your favourite puzzles, our pub quiz and much more. We hope you enjoy it.
