Love It Local to launch dedicated Poole magazine with first edition this September
We’re delighted to announce the launch of Love It Local Poole, a brand-new dedicated edition of our popular community magazine, coming to Poole this September.
Following the success of Love It Local magazine, Purbeck edition, which has been celebrating the people, businesses, organisations and communities of the area since 2023, we’re excited to be bringing the Love It Local concept to Poole.
The first edition will have a print will be out in September, distributed to homes and selected collection points across the town. Our aim is simple: to create a quality local magazine that celebrates everything that makes Poole such a fantastic place to live, work and visit.
Each quarterly, A4 glossy edition will feature a mix of local stories, interviews, history, business profiles, charity and community news, and comprehensive what’s-on listings – alongside features designed to introduce readers to the people and organisations making a difference across Poole.
A magazine made for the community
Love It Local is a family-run publishing business, founded by husband-and-wife team Malcolm and Julie Lewis and their son Matthew. Between them, the family brings decades of publishing and marketing experience, including almost ten years producing a successful magazine in Spain before returning to the UK.
Our decision to create a dedicated Poole edition follows the fantastic response we’ve received since Love It Local Purbeck began reaching readers across the town.
“We’ve already been distributing Love It Local in Poole and the feedback from both readers and businesses has been incredibly encouraging,” says Malcolm Lewis. “It became clear there was a real appetite for a magazine dedicated to Poole.”
We’ve deliberately chosen to publish quarterly, giving us the opportunity to concentrate on quality rather than simply producing more issues. We want Love It Local to be the sort of magazine that readers enjoy, keep on the coffee table and return to throughout the season.
Alongside the magazine, our website and social media channels will continue to share local news, features and events throughout the year.
Get involved
As we prepare the first Poole edition, we’re inviting local businesses, charities, community groups and event organisers to get in touch and become part of Love It Local Poole.
Whether you have a story to share, an event to promote, a local business to introduce or a community project you’d like people to know about, we’d love to hear from you.
“We’ve always believed every community has stories worth telling,” says Malcolm. “We want Love It Local Poole to reflect the people and organisations that make Poole such a vibrant place to live and visit.”
The first edition of Love It Local Poole will be published in September 2026, with free copies distributed across the town.
