HAMPSHIRE, the county magazine is Hampshire's premier monthly magazine. Founded in 1960, the magazine has built a very loyal readership over the last four decades and was given a facelift in October 2007 when it was relaunched with a bright new look but keeping all the old favourites that readers love. The magazine is proud to be the only publication which has been granted permission to carry the prestigious county coat of arms.

HAMPSHIRE, the county magazine is renowned for its diverse range of articles and features, covering every aspect of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight – past, present and future. Each month, it focuses on different towns and villages throughout Hampshire. Its regular features include local history, county walks, gardening, Hampshire Heroes, Past in the Present, Chrissie Pollard, Motoring, a vibrant 'What's On' in Hampshire and many more.

HAMPSHIRE, the county magazine is available through subscription or from newsagents and bookstands throughout the county.
