Our annual Arts issue celebrates the creatives who enrich our lives, warm our souls and keep us sane in these uncertain times. Stories range from a profile of one of our most renown actors, through to film's new heyday, to a photographic artist illuminating some of our most beautiful historic homes.

The issue will also include our Spring Style Edit, featuring a spring fashion shoot with a nod to racing season, columns by top fashion writers Marion Hume, Kellie Hush, Michael Harry and Luke Benedictus, and our Good Grooming column by Frances Mocnik.

What international trip remains lodged in your mind's eye, sustaining you through a time during which jetlag has become a nostalgic feeling worth pining for? And what place has this time of contemplation hardened your resolve to finally visit? ​  ​

For this travel-themed special, Good Weekend's much-loved writers reflect on the trips that sustain them, and the ones they still want to take. Amanda Hooton, Tim Elliott, Jane Cadzow, Konrad Marshall and Melissa Fyfe are the best magazine writers in the country. They bring their expertise and flair, their literary chops and their fine eyes for observation, to this armchair travel special, which will whet the appetite of readers to get thinking - and booking - their next overseas trip. ​

PLUS Domestically, Ute Junker goes off the beaten track on the best road trips across NSW, Victoria, Qld and Tasmania.

The decision on where to send your children to school is one of the most important a parent will make - and in 2021, there are more options, and more factors to consider, than ever.  ​

In a special advertising report produced in association with some of the best independent schools in Australia, Good Weekend will help navigate parents through the maze of information to land on the best decision for the most important little people in their lives. ​

With a high AB readership and reputation for quality journalism, this Good Weekend special advertising report will be read closely by parents across NSW, Victoria and beyond. Advertisers have the option of booking into the special advertising report reverseback itself, or alternatively into the host magazine, which will feature its weekly range of compelling features together with its much-loved regulars such as Two of Us, Dicey Topics, Modern Guru, Foreign Correspondence, recipes and of course, The Quiz.

When Good Weekend launched its 52 Weekends Away special 31 years ago, most travel sections were only a few pages long. It's growth over those decades is a reminder the magazine has long been at the forefront of Australian societal trends.

​​In the case of travel, the magazine has ridden the "mini-break" wave from when it meant driving an hour away to a modest fibro cottage by the sea, to today when it means everything from flying to a snazzy capital city hotel, to driving the country's best wine regions, to glamping in the kind of stunning, remote spots that end up on postcards.  ​​

Drawing on the stellar journalism of the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, Good Weekend publishes its annual list of the people who mattered in Australia in 2021, drawn from politics, business, foreign affairs, sport, the arts, health, science, food and everything in between.

A new seasonal themed edition of Good Weekend is dedicated to style the way intelligent, cultured men and women of the world see it. To a way of life: as much about how you live as how you look, as much about quality as appearance, as much about the brain as the body. Covering fashion & beauty but also the home and the heart.
