WOW!

We’ve had a great response over the weekend to our new A5 “What to Do in Agnes Water & 1770” Visitor Pocket Guide trial — thank you to everyone who has already put their hand up!

We’ll be getting back to you ASAP with the proposed structure, artwork specs and next steps.

In the meantime, we thought we’d put a call out on Facebook in case we missed anyone or our email didn’t reach you — because we definitely don’t want to leave anything good out!

The guide is designed to be an all-year-round, easy-to-carry A5 booklet showcasing what there is to do, see, eat, shop and explore around Agnes Water, 1770 and the Discovery Coast, with 1,000 FREE for people to pick up ...copies planned for the initial trial and distributed through local accommodation, cafés and visitor hotspots.

If you run a local business, attraction, tour, activity, café, restaurant, shop or anything else you think visitors should know about, and you’d like to be included, email the address below!

We’ve already got a brilliant mix coming together, but there’s always room to make sure visitors get the full picture of what our area has to offer!

and thank you for being a part of this!

Messenger messages get a bit lost so email is the way to go! 🙏
