Shared Creation Projects

Welsh Country is a bi-monthly glossy A4 magazine that is distributed throughout Wales and, through its growing list of subscribers, is finding regular readers across the UK and even overseas. The magazine is produced, published and printed entirely within Wales by an enthusiastic, independent team that has no ties with any large publishing group. We have a broad range of articles and features that celebrate the uniqueness of Wales and provide huge appeal and a great read for anyone with an interest in Wales – be they Welsh or non-Welsh, resident or visitor.

Welsh Country is currently running a regular feature showcasing work produced by local artists. With the goal of promoting an interest in and awareness of art in Wales, the page offers artists the opportunity to display their work to over 100,000 readers. What’s more, for the next few months this page is open to artists completely free of charge!

The contents of the magazine reflects the enormous diversity of Wales, and that certainly includes the Arts & Crafts feature. Other regular features cover walking in Wales, wildlife, equestrian activities, home & garden, alternative therapies, book and music reviews, beauty, cookery and property – an eclectic mix for all to read and enjoy.

Whenever time permits, the Welsh Country team can be seen with their trade stand at various events around the country; they have recently been at Mumbles Produce Market, with the Greener Homes & Buildings Show held at the Royal Welsh Smallholder Show, and at the North Wales Spring Garden & Country Festival in St Asaph.
