The Higham Bridge Magazine

The Higham Bridge magazine is the parish magazine for the Parish of Higham with Merston.  It is produced 10 times a year – monthly except in August (this includes September information) and January (which includes February information). The magazine acts as a bridge between St John’s Church in Hermitage Road, the voluntary organisations  and villagers of Higham. In addition the magazine contains advertisements from local businesses.  Use the email or phone number below to enquire further.


Each month there is news from St John’s Church with details of the services being held, who to contact and what activities are taking place or planned for the month.  In Spring and Autumn there is a Village Directory provided with listings of the local voluntary organisations and important contacts for police, medical help, schools, and other emergency contacts. Local organisations provide articles about their activities and plans. In addition, you will find useful advertisements by local businesses with details of their services and how to contact them.

 

There is a small charge of 70p per edition, ie £7 per year, for the magazine which is delivered to your door. Renewal of subscriptions are collected during September/October.  All subscriptions will then cover the period 1st October to 30th September. We also offer a digital version by email of a PDF file.  The cost of this service is £5 per year. Please contact as shown below if you would like this service.
