THE BN1 MAGAZINE STORY
Born from a desire to authentically represent the dynamic arts and culture of Brighton & Hove, BN1 Magazine has grown over the last decade into a publication that not only highlights overlooked local events and works but also embraces a wide array of interests that matter to our readers across the entirety of Sussex and beyond.
We’re not just an arts and music magazine. Our coverage has expanded to encompass emerging issues, lifestyle trends, science & nature, and wellbeing, always seeking out stories that resonate with the diverse communities in our region. Our commitment to credible, independent reporting, coupled with a burning passion for showcasing the extraordinary endeavours of local artists and businesses, sets us apart.
Our dedication to celebrating local culture and community remains at our core, but we are broadening our scope. We are improving our distribution to reach new areas across Brighton, Sussex, and even into London, while continuing to offer our popular home delivery service.
Our ever-evolving focus is driven by our desire to be as special as the region we represent. With our objective, diverse, and good-natured content, we have established ourselves as a recognised and trusted brand. Our readership is loyal, and the number of our stockists grows day by day, ranging from Sussex’s top cultural hubs to some of Britain’s leading supermarkets.
With the physical magazine reaching 40,000+ readers (pass on rate) each month along with an online reach exceeding 60,000, BN1 Magazine is the platform for anyone wanting to engage with the exciting, innovative, and vibrant life of Sussex.
