Essential information when parents need it most

In print, online and across social media, the Family Grapevine is a free family magazine and online source of essential local information for families in West Kent.

We feature hundreds of local businesses, services, activities and events, supported by family‑focused editorial content and some great competitions. 

We publish and distribute thousands of print copies three times a year – in March, July and November – to primary schools, nurseries, libraries, day care centres, GP surgeries, leisure centres, local groups and many other family‑focused venues.

Each edition has a four‑month shelf life and is available as a fully hyperlinked online version on our website too. Schools that do not receive physical copies are sent the online link for inclusion in their parent communications.

Our website is updated every day with with local family events, local information and family‑focused business listings.  It also hosts online promotions, web banners, news and editorial content.

You can also find us on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and X, providing regular posts and updates!
