Every town has a beat, a pulse, and a life that you can't always see at first look. When we stroll past familiar shops and streets, we often overlook the layers of creativity, ambition, and energy that define them. This is where Around comes in.

Our goal is easy but deep: to go deeper than the surface. Around isn't about breaking news or trends that don't last long. Instead, it's about capturing timeless stories that get to the heart of people, businesses, and projects in the area. Each piece will be written to honour those who are brave enough to make things, who put everything they have into their work, and who build our towns one stitch at a time.

Chepstow is where I live and raise my family, so this is where the journey starts. The town has a lot of promise and is full of creative hubs and motivated people who work quietly behind the scenes. We'll bring these stories to life with thoughtful writing and beautiful photos. Simplified, moving tale without unnecessary fluff.

Around isn't just about Chepstow, though. People in towns across the UK are coming together to rediscover and support the extraordinary. This is the start of something bigger. Can we make local great again? We believe it. We can't wait to tell you why.
