About The Wotton Directory

First printed in 2005, The Wotton Directory is now in its 18th year of publication!  It is an A5 colour magazine, hand-delivered FREE to over 5,500 homes and businesses in Wotton-under-Edge and the surrounding villages including Charfield, North Nibley, Hillesley, Kingswood, Wickwar and Cromhall, 12 times a year. Copies are also left in local Petrol stations, Hotels, Shops and Cafes for free pick-up.

Each issue of the Wotton Directory is a meticulously curated source of information for the local community and features a wide range of advertisements, offering local businesses various opportunities to showcase their own services.

Many of our advertisers return year after year, having experienced a great return on their investment. Editorial opportunities are also available to enable businesses to share their expertise with the community whilst also highlighting their business.

We are always interested in hearing from our readers with articles/news stories to be considered for inclusion in the magazine. Contact us at info@jbpublishing.co.uk if you have something that you think will be of interest and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

The Wotton Directory’s aim is to include everyone in the community and is available to read both IN PRINT and ONLINE. Some of our readers are elderly, isolated or perhaps not on social media and prefer to receive their FREE printed copy each month, often keeping each issue until the next one arrives. Other readers like to read the latest issue on their mobile, tablet or PC.

A digital copy of both the latest and past issues can always be viewed online – just click on the Green buttons below.

Garden Room Masters would like to thank Jan and the team at the Wotton directory for the amazing value their advertising offers.

For a relatively new business it was difficult to know where to advertise, I am pleased to say that we are now very busy with all work coming from advertising within the directory.

Nice to see the adverts on other social media platforms also! The little amount I have spent with the Wotton directory has already come back to me many times over!

We have been advertising in The Wotton Directory for a number of years now, it generates a lot of enquiries for us both in the online directory & the Wotton Directory book from locals for all their roofing needs. Jan and the team always go above and beyond to make sure we are happy with our advertising and will adjust things as necessary when asked. As a company, we believe in staying local for work, and thus advertising in the local magazines makes sense. We would highly recommend to any local business to give it a try.

Working with Jan and the team at the Wotton Directory has been fab. With adverts appearing in locally distributed publications as well as mentions on their website and social media, it’s a great way for locals to see the products and service we offer and many clients tell us that they first found out about us by seeing our advert in the Directory. The Wotton Directory have always given us a prompt and reliable service that gives us an excellent return on our investment. We’ll definitely keep using their services in the future.

Loving Home has advertised in both the Wotton Directory and Wotton Times over the past 4 years and achieved fabulous results with promoting both our workshops and the shop’s birthday events. The support from the team is always professional and friendly with regular communication and they have always made it very easy to submit artwork. As well as appearing in the printed media, we also received shout outs on their social media pages and we very much look forward to continue working with the Directory and Times.

“The Wotton Directory is one of the very few publications in which we regularly advertise.  The door-to-door delivery means we’re confident that we can reach a high proportion of local households, and maintain high awareness of our business.”

Annually, The Trustees of Wotton-under-Edge General Charities invite applications for small grants towards the cost of further education and employment skills training for qualifying young residents of the Parish.

The “ad” has proved a useful aid in giving information about applying for a grant and – if not always read by the students – is certainly seen by their families!

Wotton-under-Edge General Charities

The Wotton Directory and Times are an integral part of Wotton and we are happy to advertise in both.  Jan and the team are friendly and easy to work with and our advertisements are always designed and produced to our specifications.
