About Stourbridge Matters

Introducing Stourbridge Matters, Your Local Community Magazine!

Stourbridge Matters is a brand-new, free monthly magazine dedicated to celebrating everything that makes our town special from local businesses and community groups to events, charities, and the people who make a difference.


Our mission is to provide a strong, reliable platform for local businesses, charities, and organisations across Stourbridge to promote their services and events. We want to create a go-to source of trusted community news, updates, and features that residents can genuinely rely on and enjoy.


We know there’s a thriving community spirit in Stourbridge, but time and again, people tell us they simply don’t know what’s going on locally whether it’s events, hidden-gem businesses, or brilliant local causes. That’s where Stourbridge Matters comes in.


With more than 55 pick-up points across the town and surrounding villages we’re making it easier than ever for people to stay informed, connected, and inspired by what’s happening on their doorstep.


In challenging economic times, it’s more important than ever to support the small businesses and local heroes that are the backbone of our community. That’s why Stourbridge Matters is proud to champion local, showcasing the best of our town while giving readers a rich mix of community news and general interest stories.


Stourbridge Matters is published by Little Big Media, a family-run business based locally with a strong passion for supporting communities. Alongside this publication, we are also proud to produce Wyre Forest Matters, helping to connect and promote businesses, events, and community stories across the wider region.


Be local. Buy local. Support local.

Together, let’s keep Stourbridge thriving!
