Saturday and Sunday is a small, family-led UK blog written by Linda and John Garrould from Norwich, covering family days out, gardening and home cooking. We work with a select number of brands, attractions and agencies each year on partnerships our readers will genuinely care about.

Who we hear from
- Tourism boards, heritage sites and visitor attractions
- Shopping centres and retail destinations — our late-night shopping guides cover more than 60 UK centres
- Garden product brands, seed houses and plant specialists
- Cookware, food and ingredient brands aimed at home cooks
- PR and marketing agencies representing the above
- Fellow UK family bloggers looking to collaborate
What we say yes to
Paid advertising, sponsored posts (always clearly disclosed), gifted product reviews of items we’d genuinely use, occasional press visits, and properly-resourced content collaborations. We’re happy to talk about Awin and similar affiliate programmes, exclusive vouchers for our readers, and seasonal campaigns that line up with our editorial calendar.
Rates: we quote per project rather than publishing a fixed rate card, because a sponsored day-out review, a recipe collaboration and a seasonal display placement are very different pieces of work. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll come back with a price. All prices are subject to VAT; invoices are issued by Garrould Ltd.
What we say no to
Anything off-theme, anything we wouldn’t recommend to a friend, gambling, vaping, anything aimed commercially at children, AI-generated product imagery presented as photography, and any request for “do-follow links” outside a clearly disclosed partnership.
The audience, in numbers
Honest figures from Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, pulled 19 September 2026. Refreshed quarterly.
- Around 4,600 sessions and 4,200 readers a month (28 days to 18 September 2026), mostly UK; 19,800 sessions and 18,100 readers over the six months to the same date.
- Where the traffic comes from: 79% organic search, 19% direct (returning readers), the rest email, referral and AI assistants. Search readers engage at 49%; the site-wide figure is 43%.
- Two search engines, not one: Google brings 52% of sessions and Bing and its partners (Edge, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia) bring 25% — an unusual profile for a UK lifestyle site, and an audience a Google-only campaign never reaches. Bing readers also engage better: 57% of their visits engage against 47% from Google, and they stay 65% longer.
- Search visibility: around 2.2 million Google Search impressions in the six months to 18 September 2026, before counting Bing.
- Flagship pages you can check yourself on Bing UK: the Weekend Farmers’ Market Directory sits in the top five for “farmers market near me” and “sunday markets near me”, with 62% of visits engaged and readers staying 40 seconds; Books on BBC Radio 4 is top five for “radio 4 book of the week”, with 65% of visits engaged; Can You Freeze Scones? is top five for its title query and keeps readers 52 seconds; our late-night shopping guides (more than 60 centres) sit on page one for queries like “bluewater opening times” and “cheshire oaks opening times”; and the August Bank Holiday Family Days Out guide was top five for “august bank holiday weekend 2026”. Positions are 90-day Bing averages to 12 September 2026.
- Top categories: food and cookery, family days out (including the late-night shopping guides), with a steady long tail of evergreen gardening, East-of-England heritage and our BBC Radio 4 books pages.
- Newsletter: a free weekly Saturday email — the week’s reads, the Radio 4 books, a farmers’ market and the weekend’s garden job.
- Social: @Sat_and_Sun on X / Twitter, around 1,100 followers.
Editorial pages hold attention — the market directory, the freezing guides and the bank-holiday planners keep readers for 40 to 50 seconds — while the timer and countdown pages are quick-answer by design. Happy to share deeper analytics, page-level numbers or audience breakdowns on request.
