We published the very first printed copy of BN5 magazine in 2005 and delivered it, via Royal Mail, to every postcode in the BN5 area, 5,000 copies each month. We've now printed more than 200 issues!
Our aim has always been to inform and to help our local community. From the very first magazines we have slowly built up a readership and a reputation for good quality editorial, interesting news and extensive events listings. For us it’s always been about quality (not just quantity) and now we are inundated each month with editorial contributions, which is the way we like it.
We are a community magazine and the contributions from local people are what make us uniquely Henfield. We’re extremely proud to say that we’re the first place to look for the latest local news and events and we have a fantastic local directory of reputable businesses. We are champions of shopping locally and supporting local businesses.
We love a good story – there’s nothing better than finding out something interesting to share with others. We’ve interviewed many inspiring people about their lives, travels and passions. We’ve talked to artists, fundraisers, sportspeople, musicians, politicians, war veterans, olympians, authors, as well as Henfield villagers with great stories to tell. There has never been a dull moment!
Our website is colourful, visual and easy to use. An on-line version of BN5! We’ve kept it simple, but what it lacks in complexity it makes up for in depth. Our Business Directory has over 600 local businesses listed, and the list is growing. You will find an easy search facility and plenty of useful information. Our news items are updated on an almost daily basis so you’ll never be short of a good read.
We’re very excited about this website, we feel confident that it represents us well and will represent Henfield and the surrounding area, too. This is a community site at heart and we encourage your contributions. It's a true reflection of our vibrant, interesting and ever-changing village.
