We have been advertising with Brighton & Hove magazines now for over 20 years. Over that period of time, we have built our business trading with the local people of Brighton & Hove and will continue advertising with them in the future. If you are considering advertising your  business or advertising events, dates and information in your local areas, you really should advertise in Brighton & Hove magazines. You won’t be disappointed.

A really warm and helpful team, and a lovely set of magazines committed to building community spirit and local interest. We are really happy with the service we get each month. Thanks for helping us spread the word about Ropetackle Arts Centre.

I advertise regularly in Brighton & Hove magazines. I've found that the adverts generally lead to enquiries and ultimately jobs. The team are really nice to deal with as well.

Hovarian magazine has the perfect balance of advice and information regarding local news, community projects, local businesses (adverts make you trust they are good, fair companies to deal with), personal stories, topical aspects of Hove, details of weekly events and my favourite, at least one perspective on Hove and Portslade’s fascinating history. I am involved with a ‘History of Hove’ group which invites speakers to share their knowledge and research on many and various aspects of Hove’s history. I take copies to give to members of the group who don’t get it delivered - they love it, especially the mystery picture quiz! Hovarian also gives us inspiration for future topics. I want to thank you for the quality of both the content and the magazine itself, with clear, well presented print and images. There are always numerous articles of interest to read. I look forward to receiving Hovarian every month; long may it continue. Keep up the great work,

Love The Brightonian. It really has a good community feel. We advertised a charity concert and the audience was really a new cohort of people,  due I believe to the wide reach of the Brightonian.

Thank you to the Brightonian for sharing our stories about our local parkruns. We've had some great coverage about our special days like the launch of the new junior parkrun event in Queen's Park, our annual 'Councillors for parkrun' day and our 20th anniversary. The team are always so helpful with our articles. We're a free, community event and it's lovely to have their support in getting our parkrun story through thousands of local doors. Nancy Platts, parkrun volunteer Event Ambassador.

I'm always delighted when The Hovarian arrives; it's good for finding out the new things that are happening across the community. Recently, the folks at Brighton & Hove magazines published a piece about my talks programme, Curious Histories, which helps small charities across the city. They were very helpful to me with getting the article right and it looked super when it was published - plus it generated a good amount of local interest. Very happy!

Great team at The Brightonian, who were communicative and clear and it was great to see our charity Mothers Uncovered being able to reach new people through the magazine. Wonderful way for charities, small businesses and individuals to share information. I also really like the pictures of the city from years gone by.

I am super imporessed with the Hovarian.  Its brings together the council going on's and informs the neighbourhoods as to what is going on.   Its very receptive to receiving independant articles from members of the public with minimal editorial control.

B&H magazines and more importantly the Hovarian is a fantastic local magazine with relatable articles about Hove. We advertise in the magazine for exactly that reason. We recommend it to everyone who wants to know what is going on or requires details of local services.

The Hovarian has been a staple in our family's reading for over a decade. It's a lovely newsletter that shares great local knowledge, both new and old. And the team were exceptionally helpful when publicising a piece on the AI math teacher my brother and I have been developing.

We were delighted with the article published in Brighton and Hove Magazine about us taking over Fiveways Arts and Crafts in Ditchling Road and our new vision for the shop. The publicity really helped with our launch and the friendly questions published in the magazine and accompanying photograph led folk from across Brighton and Hove to visit (and keep returning). We highly recommend Brighton and Hove Magazines.

We’re lucky: the Brightonian is delivered monthly to our door, clunking through the letter slot and splashing across the floor. And when it arrives, there can something of – well, I won’t call it a race, but a sense of eagerness to read the latest edition. What’s happening locally – events, people, music, books, arts, community news  and yesteryear photos of Brighton as it was a century back… the works. Its savoured, articles read twice, stories discussed, and plans made on the back of alerts for upcoming events. There’s that, the regular, the monthly pleasure of the Brightonian and knowing what’s happening locally. But there’s more. When it came to getting the word out about my own news – in this case Don’t Falter, a novel set in Brighton (and Hove, too, for that matter) – I wrote straight away to the Brightonian and to the Hovarian – who wrote straight back with a yes, with thanks, and details of when the story would run. It was kind – kind and supportive. They made it easy. And the response has been fab. People who have read the story have stopped me to say where they saw news of the book in the Brightonian, in the Hovarian. All that to mind, when a couple good friends whose books are being released later this year, I recommended they, like anyone, get in touch with the magazines too – although I hasten to add it wasn’t news to them: they, as Brightonian / Hovarian readers already had the mags in their sights.

The Hovarian and Brightonian are great free local magazines.  They always have interesting local interest articles worth reading.  With a nice clean layout adverts do not get lost in the design.  Having advertised there myself I can say that I had a good response.  I also use the free event listing page to advertise local events of the charity for which I volunteer.  Highly recommended.

One thing that's really good about The Brightonian is its front cover — the March edition in particular has a beautiful moody illustration of the Hanover area. Having been featured in The Brightonian, I found the team there friendly and easy to deal with. What's more, there's quite a selection of features of local interest that you won't get to read anywhere else. All power to their elbows! Only one tiny quibble: they should do more social media.

We are grateful to the Brighton and Hove Magazines for advertising our free Seedy Sunday event. Great job supporting events for the local community who need to know what wonderful things happen in their city. Hopefully some people will come who didn't even know that there was a Seedy Sunday seed swap event, and then grow their own plants from seed with our help (and come back next year with their saved seeds to swap).
