10 years loving local

Bring out the birthday cake , we ’ re celebrating !
This year Winchester Magazine is celebrating its 10th anniversary . However , we ’ re not the only ones . Local specialists and Winchester Magazine supporters Donna Laine and Squeaky Clean Homes are also celebrating a decade in business . So , it is congratulations all round .
Winchester Magazine editor and owner Liz Kavanagh had a vision , right from the off , for a truly local publication , singing about the best our city offers , shining a spotlight on local experts and individuals . All the magazine ’ s contributors are based in and around Winchester , providing inside knowledge . A particular feature of the magazine are the stunning city scenes on the front covers painted by local artists . We like to think Winchester Magazine has become a community as much as a publication .
" Congratulations to Liz and the whole team at Winchester Magazine on a fantastic 10 years ! At Shentons , we believe in the power of community , and Winchester Magazine plays a crucial role in connecting us all . We ' re delighted to have been part of your journey from the beginning and look forward to working together for many years to come .” Chloe Jay , Senior Partner , Shentons
“ Winchester BID is pleased and proud to support Winchester Magazine . We have been working with Liz and the team for many years now and can ’ t fault their professionalism , can-do attitude and attention to detail . They are a trusted partner and we look forward to continuing our support of this valuable local publication .” Sarah Davis , Manager , Winchester BID
“ It ’ s wonderful that Winchester Magazine is celebrating 10 years . We have always enjoyed working with the team and they always fully support the hotel and our events . The magazine provides all the information you need about Winchester and that ’ s why we always advertise with them . It ’ s a great platform for us to be able to promote Lainston .” Sarah Waddington , Sales & Revenue Manager , Lainston House
The Magazine ’ s anniversary is an opportunity to say a massive thank-you to our advertisers . While we support local , they have supported Winchester Magazine , and we wouldn ’ t be here , 10 years on , without them . Some , including Shentons solicitors , Lainston House and Porterhouse Steakhouse restaurant , have been with us from the very first issue . Others , such as Winchester BID , Winchester Science Centre , Gurkha ’ s Inn and the Watercress Line came on board during the first year . There ’ s a lot of mutual admiration between us and the businesses and organisations we work with .

Ten busy years

Since 2015 Liz and the team have delivered over 300,000 copies and helped promote 334 local businesses .
