Lunch Lady magazine releases final issue

Lunch Lady, the popular magazine for parents and carers have concluded their print journey with current issue 30. Announced in March of this year, Lunch Lady posted on Instagram that the thirtieth would be their last. “In case you haven’t heard … Our awesome book series will finish with THIS issue! Issue 30! 30 issues, can you believe it?⁠”  Their 30th issue sees the full collection complete with a rainbow palette (as seen on their website and Instagram), but fans have noted their disappointment with the departure from print. Instagram fans such as ‘shelovesespresso’ wrote, “Honestly, the parent in me is heartbroken,” with other fans such as ‘kate_kitty’ who wrote, “oh no! We love the mag,” on the post.
