This year has been a challenge for many businesses in this area. To help our community thrive this festive season, we're excited to launch our new Christmas Advertising Packages for 2026.

Following the success of previous years, we've listened to your feedback and created heavily discounted, multimedia packages designed to help your business stand out during the crucial Christmas trading period. Our goal is to give you the best chance possible for a brilliant end to the year.

The Christmas Advertising Package 2026 starts from only £99 per week for multimedia activity.

Scott Wood, Group Sales Director, commented: “Our teams spend lots of time working with local businesses and we know that this year has been really challenging.

“We’ve worked together to come up with our Christmas Advertising Packages. They’re a brilliant way for local businesses to get maximum exposure for their businesses in the crucial festive season – helping them to stand locally ahead of online retailers and retail multiples.

“We want local organisations to have a brilliant Christmas and we know our packages across print, digital and social will help them have this.”

We're a family-owned, highly regarded local media company that has been trusted in the area for years, and our packages are designed to help local businesses who want a bumper festive 2026 season to build a strong local identity. We understand the power of community, and our multi-platform advertising approach ensures that companies can reach the right audiences.
