Issue 15 Out Now

THERE’S NO PLACE
LIKE HOME

Home can mean many things to many people, including the town or village we reside in, as well as the physical building where we live our lives and lay our heads at night. This issue we are celebrating both kinds, with a multitude of perspectives on Stortford life, ways to spend your time here and a selection of the finest people and businesses that make up the local economy.

Then we have the people servicing your actual abode, from those who make it look pretty – in all the ways – to those looking to make your lives easier and the time with your loved ones more precious. We hope you enjoy this issue as new growth appears and the days get longer.

WE ARE THE BISH
AND BEYOND

We are designers, writers and printers – from Bishop’s Stortford agency Douglas – bringing you a magazine-less-ordinary. A not-for-profit yet beautiful read shining a light on local business and community and full of the best things to be found in and around East Herts & Essex.

In three years, we’ve built a network of 45 commercial stockists, a wonderfully-supportive group that has grown by 30 since our inception. These include retail, hospitality and commercial businesses across Stortford, Saffron Walden and beyond. We’re happy to work with people and companies to find an advertising proposition that works for them, and because we write, design and print the magazine in-house, it’s our aim to make you look practically perfect in every way.

PREVIOUS ISSUES

Missed a copy? You can read any of our back issues here, or if you’re more of a tangible reader—like us—you’re welcome to visit The Bish HQ, where we keep limited numbers aside. Mostly because we love the smell of print, but we’re happy to share.
