The Village Magazine
Written, compiled and printed locally. We know the area, the people, and the news. We now cover Havant to Chichester including Emsworth, Westbourne and Rowlands Castle.
We strive to support our community, and if we had a motto it would be ‘Let’s Keep it Local’. We have a very loyal and demanding readership, and the magazine is put together with them in mind.
The magazine is full colour, A4 monthly publication delivered door to door to over 16,000 houses, distributed to the residents of Bosham, Fishbourne, Chidham, Hambrook, Nutbourne, Southbourne, Prinsted, Hermitage, Westbourne, Woodmancote, Funtington, West & East Ashling, Emsworth and Rowlands Castle.
A truly local magazine supporting the community and providing local business advertising opportunities alongside local information for new and existing residents and visitors to the area. Regular features include news from around the villages, classified adverts and general interest articles.
If you have a service our readers would benefit from, look no further than to promote yourself in this beautiful area on the West Sussex & Hampshire borders between the Chichester Harbour – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the South Downs National Park.
