You asked, we're answering: when will Now Then be back in print? We want to get back to producing a printed magazine. There, we said it. Now, the details...

If there’s one question we hear when we’re out and about more than any other, it’s this one: when will Now Then return to print, and what will it look like?

We’ve got more details on that, plus a chance to tell us what you want from Now Then 2.0 if you’ve not already done so ⬇️
