The Hythe Handbook is an A5 full colour local community magazine that is well respected and read by people young and old throughout Hythe. A publication released bi-monthly to everyone in the CT21 postcode and includes local stories and local events as well as low cost effective local business advertising. The Handbook grows almost entirely by word of mouth, and has many long term advertisers and story writers due to the reflection of success they have from the Handbook. 9,000 copies of every issue are distributed by the Royal Mail to all homes and businesses so it’s read by most people in and around Hythe.
The Hythe Handbook was started by Jo Dodds in September 2005, after working in London as an HR director. Stopping the daily commute into London allowed her to start a family. So on August 2006, Ellie, a.k.a Little Doddsy to regular readers, was born!
The Handbook covers events such as the Hythe Festival which is local and enjoyed by many of the Hythe residents. It includes pages about local charities and their work within the town. The Hythe Handbook is perfect for anyone wanting to know about Hythe and perfect for residents keeping up to date on what’s happening within the town. The editorial has something for everyone, from how to make Lemon Chicken with a Cashew Crunch to Hythe’s local charity work to information about the latest toilets in Tokyo!
