About

Rising Weekend Stories is about making considered use of free time. It explores outings, pastimes, gatherings, seasonal pleasures and the small planning choices that help a weekend feel like yours.

A weekend has its own scale

The publication looks at ways to spend time away from weekday obligations without treating leisure as another task list. A good plan might be one destination, a familiar activity seen differently, or an open stretch of time with no appointment attached.

For curious planners and companions

The writing is for readers deciding what to do alone, with friends or with family, whether they have a spare hour or an unhurried day. Suggestions are designed to be adaptable rather than dependent on a particular town, venue or local service.

Attention over accumulation

Rising Weekend Stories favours clear choices, useful distinctions and a sense of pace. It does not assume that more stops, more equipment or more elaborate plans make better leisure.
