International subscription
International subscription. Beano's are dispatched and delivered irregularly. Some editions are delayed, other are bundled, some are missing.
The Beano's are as good as they were 30 years ago, however the subscription distribution is too inconsistent

Beano is a tradition that has been passed down and now my little girl and I share this. It’s such a fantastic magazine and we have all the annuals too.
The staff who deal with subscriptions are fantastic and so helpful.

My grandson waits by the letterbox!
My grandson loves receiving his Beano every week (he panics if it is late). He loves reading but it is a fantastic way to get reluctant children to read. His Sister also loves it but unfortunately there is no other magazine subscription, like the Beano as I would like to set her up with a subscription of her own.

Brings joy every week for myself and son. I used to receive the Beano when I was little and knowing it’s still going and still as good is amazing, plus seen my sons face reading it and laughing is well worth the subscription.
But would be nice to have the DD on the same day each month.

I love Beanoo
I love Beanoo! I’ve been getting it since i was 5 and still love it. My favourite character is Harsha because i love her weekly pranks. The other characters are also brilliant, and I love how inclusive it is by mixing up every thing, like how one of the bash street kids is the best at football and is a girl. It just shows that anyone can do anything!
