Brighton and Hove Magazines Reviews

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.

Advertising with Brighton and Hove Magazines has been beneficial for my small business. Excellent communication and very helpful.

A new local mag has arrived. Useful local ads for sure but also some really good, interesting content. And it's run by lovely people!

Brighton and Hove Magazines published an article for me in June 2024 about Brighton & Hove Arts Council's 50th Anniversary. They were a pleasure to work with, published my article exactly as written, and I am extremely happy with the quality of the layout!

After I was featured in The Hovarian as a local author I've become famous in my neighbourhood! It was an absolute pleasure to work with a publication so tuned in with the area.

A great monthly LOCAL magazine with good LOCAL content & editorial. The vintage photos of the area are always looked forward to. I've used several of the businesses advertised & have always had a good job from them. Keep up the good work.

Informative and insightful publications that help the reader succinctly tap into local knowledge and events.

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.

Very helpful in dealing with our placement and very kindly published an article! Thanks so much.

Hi my name is Mo from M.K.Electrical (Brighton) I advise in the brighton and hove magazine, I think it’s a great way to make my services available to the local communities. Tim and his staff are great, very friendly, a definite 5 stars from me.

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.

I love the Brightonian- great content & truly inclusive. Worth stopping scrolling for!

Brighton & Hove magazines offer an excellent avenue for advertising, but also include some top-notch local stories to read through. Recommended for advertising and as a great read, not always an easy balance to achieve.

The Brightonian featured one of the author's I'm a publicist for and it was a really lovely experience.

Brilliant, helpful, responsive and well put together!
