Published ten times a year by the 1st of the month of issue, posted online and distributed to homes throughout Thornbury. An A5 full-colour magazine, it contains articles, items on News Around and a comprehensive listing of What's On each month. The quality of its presentation and content guarantee it a place on the coffee table or kitchen worktop, where it provides a handy source of local trades and services.
First published in May 1979 as a joint venture by the churches in Thornbury, the Magazine has since gone from strength to strength. We are a 'not for profit' community enterprise, registered as a private company, in receipt of no grants, entirely funded by our advertisers and staffed by volunteers.
Our potential readership is over 10,000 and growing.
We strive to do our best but occasionally we may get things wrong. We welcome your compliments, comments and complaints. If you would like to know how we deal with both positive and negative interactions with our advertisers, contributors, volunteers and the general public, please read our 3Cs policy.
Thornbury Magazine respects your privacy and complies with the General Data Protection Regulations. To see how we protect information about our volunteers read our Data Protection Notice.
