issue 130 is here!

By the frankie team
4 February 2026

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice-cream (and our rad new mag).

Jeepers creepers, have we got a treat for you – issue 130 is out and, inside its ice-cream-covered cover, it’s jam-packed with all sorts of goodness!

For a start, head on over to some British beaches and find out what makes them like nowhere else in the world. You’ll meet up with some very creative folk, including a young bloke who started a jewellery business when he was still in high school and an artist whose paintings of food and weird little figurines look too real for words.

On top of all the other loveliness you expect to find within the pages, we have a chinwag with Courtney Barnett, spend time with a butterfly keeper at the zoo and fill you in on the best TV shows to snooze to. FANTASY BANDS
