Join The Bradt Travel Club and Support Independent Publishing

What is the Bradt Travel Club?

It’s an online membership that provides you with exclusive travel stories and webinars, great discounts with partners, free books from us and a whole lot more.

It’s also your chance to support independent travel publishers in an age of mass market media.

Support during difficult times

We launched The Travel Club in May 2020, during the early months of the Covid-19 crisis – borders were closed, travel was on hold, and people asked how they could support us during a difficult time.

We’ve been overwhelmed by the support shown so far; it’s made a real difference to our chances of survival.

Despite the light at the end of the tunnel, times remain tough – arguably tougher than ever – so if you love travel and you value independent guides, do please consider taking out a subscription.

But that’s not the only reason to join!

What’s in it for you

Receive an inspirational blend of entertaining ‘long reads’, stunning photo features, interviews with like-minded travellers, local recipes and fiendish quizzes.

Save money with a range of excellent discounts from our favourite travel brands (from magazines to kit providers and tour operators).

Finally, as a member, you will also enjoy a 50% discount on all Bradt books forever! That’s got to be worth the membership fee alone.
