About Us

We are a high-quality lifestyle publication produced quarterly and featuring everything from exclusive interviews to shopping must-haves, and reviews of restaurants.

The aim of Open Magazine and our accompanying website openthecity.co.uk is to help people spend two of their most valuable commodities – time and money.

We offer a guide on the best places to go in and around the city at the same time as providing information on all the latest offers and massive discounts available for all our Open Card holders.

Formed in 2012 Open is a budding publication with big aspirations.

With a wide variety of free publications distributed around the city, some good some not so good, we felt there was room in the market for a magazine targeting aspirational 18 to 40-year-olds in and around the city.

We also felt their should be a way of keeping people informed of all the latest attractions, the best bars, clubs and restaurants, hottest fashion and shopping and best places to stay – as well as coverage of Liverpool’s arts, culture, entertainment and sport.

We are much more than just a magazine, with a website updated daily and an active social network presence we constantly provide fresh content on multi-platforms. And then there is the Open Card. By agreeing special deals and offers with all our advertisers, our readers can access exclusive discounts just by producing their Open Card on site.  All you have to do to get an Open Card is sign up on our website and we will send one out for free. Then we will notify cardholders by email of all the new places where an Open Card promotion is active and what new offers are available.

We also have an app available to download on your smartphone. The app will show you where Open Card promotions are active via a live map. By producing your phone at the offer location and displaying the Open Card app on screen, you will be able to receive your offer.

It is this combination of magazine, website and members card that makes us unique from other publications in the city. By picking up a copy of the magazine or visiting our site we hope to keep you readers entertained and by signing up for the Open Card we hope to reward them with some special offers.
