popular feature, with audiences of over 400 on occasions enjoying a picnic and excellent professional plays by the best national touring companies. Festivals have also featured plays for children, workshops, story telling, standup comedy, poetry, restaurant concerts, and vibrant music events.

The 20th year celebration of Bishop’s Waltham Festival sees it move with the modern times, back in the palace grounds and St Peters church with a most diverse range of events ever.

Held over the weekend of 14th - 17th July 2016 it promises to be an exciting and fun-packed weekend of activities for all to enjoy.

See www.bwfestival.co.uk for tickets and further information

As Discover has the largest circulation of any publication in the Solent/South Hampshire area it’s the perfect place to promote forthcoming events such as music festivals, theatrical productions, exhibitions, country shows events and family attractions.

As these events are date focussed events, most bookings are short term on less favourable discounts. However, as we are very keen to include local events in our What’s On section as they attract readers (which is good for our regular advertisers) we have favourably priced packages for this category only.

Call Melanie on 023 8027 6396 or visit the website for prices.

Part slots are available on a waiting list basis.

Leaflet delivery is not available (N/A) in some areas as we use Royal Mail to deliver Discover Magazine and inserts are not accepted.

One Print Deadline for 2 Issues When we design a magazine we prepare two issues together. From the file we supply the printer produces two months in one print run by interrupting the process to change the plates of the outer pages. The outer pages (front cover, editor letter, What’s On and some advertisers) are relevant to the month while the centre pages are common for both months.

This results in a quantity of month 1 delivered to Circulation A and a quantity for month 2 to Circulation B. When the copies come back from the printers, the month 1 stock is delivered immediately while the Month 2 copies are held back and delivered approximately three weeks later. Therefore, we deliver monthly. This is commonly known in the publishing industry as “split distribution”.

How does this affect you?

• If you are in the common pages your advert is the same for two months.

• To reach Discover’s full circulation in any edition you need to book two consecutive months.

• As we deliver monthly, we quote and invoice monthly.
