ABOUT
We publish free positive print magazines which showcase the bright side of Kent’s towns and cities.
Our magazines are packed with features covering art and culture, music, business, food and drink, homes and interiors, local people, community issues and much more.
Our roots are in Margate where we launched our first magazine, the Margate Mercury, in 2016. Since then we have launched five more titles for Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Deal, Whitstable and Folkestone. In 2024 we will be launching a new magazine for Canterbury, the Canterbury Courier.
Our magazines are also award-winning: in 2020 and 2022 the Margate Mercury was awarded Highly Commended Magazine of the Year in the Kent Press and Broadcast Awards.
