 ADVERTISE WITH THE CHIMES MAGAZINE & HOW MUCH IT COSTS 

The Chimes is a monthly magazine (other than January & August) published and delivered free of charge to every household in the villages that we serve.

​

The Chimes distributes in South Herefordshire to the villages and hamlets of Aston Crews, Aston Ingham*, Bromsash, Gorsley*, Kilcot, Lea*, Linton*, Phocle Green, and Upton Bishop*, together with their surrounding areas.

​

News for inclusion in the magazine is gathered by a team of Sub Editors, based in the five main villages*. Each month, one of our four Editors produces the magazine using this news. We welcome all items of news and local interest.

​

1,500 copies are hand-delivered to homes & key venues (pubs & village halls) in our area each month.

​

The ethos of the Chimes is to be recognised as the provider to our readers, of news and information by our villagers, about our villages. “A local magazine for local people”!

​

In setting our advertising rates, our sole objective is to cover our costs; in some years, we generate a small surplus that is used to offset the losses that may occur in other years.
