As we get into the swing of a new year, now is the perfect opportunity to both reflect and look forward in Shepton Mallet.

Since launching the Shepton Mallet Nub News website in April last year, we have been building a hyper-local news source for the Shepton Mallet community and surrounding villages.

Our team seeks out inspiring people and stories to bring you relevant, reliable and trustworthy local news.

And this quality journalism is enhanced by our ever-increasing family of Nubbers who contribute interesting and well-read news and what's on event listings.

We would like to say thank you to them, for their continued support, and to you, our readers, for investing your time to visit Shepton Mallet Nub News.

If you want to share news or events about your organisation, charity, business, church, school or sports team we'd love to hear from you.

Simply use the Nub It buttons found on the home page for news and what's on page for events listings. It's quick, easy and, of course, free.

All submitted content is moderated before going live by our experienced team of journalists - no fake news guaranteed.

And, don't forget, Shepton Mallet Nub News also features local live travel and weather information, classifieds, properties for sale and jobs.

If you want any advice or guidance about self-publishing or want to talk about a news story then please email [email protected].
