UK, Ireland / English magazines about Poland in UK? [32]

hi all,

few useful links for Polish publications:
polishexpress.co.uk
goniec.co.uk
cooltura.co.uk

These are the best known in the UK. Apart from that there are monthly magazines for English speaking readers:
Discover Poland - discoverpl.com
Visit Poland and 4YOUK - don't remember the links, sorry!! :)

Hope it will be useful. :)

they do, as well as any other person... hard to say which one is the best, i guess it depends which is available in the store to pick up :)

i wouldn't exclude Goniec from that list - they're doing quite good as well...

personally i think that new idea about Polish publication for English readers is all right... i've seen all three of them (actually there are 4 of what i've heard but don't no the title) and it seems that they got the 'future'...

sort of... i know who is doing that (friend of mine is working there)...

i don't like the idea of 2-3 pages articles in it... i guess it would be better with short info of what is there (city, region) worth to see, where to eat and things like that...

I think you can find it where Polish Express is - the same publisher, some WH Smiths but don't know where exactly...

Would it persuade Joe Public to think about a couple of weeks on Sopot instead of the annual fortnight on the med?

Well... I guess nothing will be better than Ibiza's fish&chips bars :) Ain't that booooring? Leaving England to go to England only Spanish (sure, no rain and sun all the time...) meeting the same people all the time? Drinking and eating the same staff as always? Hmmm... not really my kinda thing...

I believe that it will encourage those with adventurous soul willing to see bit more than Buckingham Palace. And there is a lot to see (not only Poland). And just maybe it will change some people view about Poland...

Gosh, i've wrote a poem :) First in my life :)

Sorry folks... :)

Perhaps I didn't make my point clear enough....

Got you now :) true - if you want to go to some destination you will find needed info easily - there is no need for buying magazines.

Yet it have some kind of informative purpose, I think. I was actually happy to read it cause it is showing you where we are from, that white bears aren't running on our streets etc. It won't probably encourage you to drop everything and go to Poland cause it is sooo wonderful :) But it will stay in your mind like: I've read once abut some place in Poland - maybe I'll go there one day? That will be enough...

the discoverypl.com magazine seems really informative and interesting ... just spent some time reading it :)

and that's all about :)

And yes, I agree that there should be more info about Polish events in England.

Yet I've got one info: Thursday, 15 of May - Potters Fields Park (City Hall bank), 10am - 8pm - Polish flag signing (Euro 2008) sponsored by Tyskie beer :) should be fun!!!
