Thank you to the huge number of people who read our stories and have listed their services on our online newspaper over the past year.

At Shepton Mallet Nub News, our motto is Your Town In Your Pocket. We aim to be your one-stop-shop for all things Shepton: positive community news, detailed reports, what's on; property, jobs and classified listings.

We are also compiling an A-Z of the businesses, charities and groups in Shepton Mallet. It's our way of giving them a free promotional boost, and several companies and professionals are displaying their services on our Local List.

We are on Facebook and Twitter and across these social media pages we have amassed more than 1,800 followers.

Across the country, Nub News is in 55 towns, having launched less than two years ago in January 2019. We are a fast growing journalism network, giving readers a great user experience without any invasive adverts.

Shepton Mallet Nub News is now looking for community-minded sponsors who want to reach a highly engaged targeted audience.
