The Swansea Edit

23/12/2025

Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

As we come to the end of our first full year as a magazine, we wanted to pause and say thank you. Launching The Swansea Edit and seeing it grow over the past year has been both exciting and, at times, challenging. Running your own business is never easy, and there are moments when it can feel overwhelming, but we have been continually met with kindness, encouragement and genuine support.

For every comment, share, message and kind word, thank you. Thank you for having faith in what we are building, for supporting a new magazine rooted in Swansea, and for choosing to be part of this journey with us. Your support has not only helped us establish the magazine in its first year, it is helping us build something lasting for our family.

We wish you a Christmas filled with love, laughter and time with those you hold closest. Thank you for sticking with us, for showing up for us, and for being such a generous and supportive community.

Here’s to 2026, and a year of continued growth, health, happiness and new beginnings.

Nadolig Llawen!

Big love,
Natalie, Tony, Conor, Tom, Joseph, Oliver, William, Ads & Sean 🩷

Christmas is not one feeling.

We are proud to be working in partnership with , whose latest article in our most recent issue gently explores Christmas, the pressure it can bring, and the conflicting emotions many of us experience at this time of year.

There is no right way to feel.
No obligation to be cheerful.
No pressure to perform joy.

If this season feels heavy for you, go gently.

Save this for when you need it.

Please join Joseph’s Smile at Midday on Christmas Eve, and ring out a bell for heaven. We will be ringing our bells and remembering those children who are spending their Christmas in heaven.

CHRISTMAS EVE BELLS

Please join us this Christmas Eve from 11am at St Catherine's Church & Sunday School Brynamman for a festive bell ringing service to remember and celebrate all children spending Christmas in Heaven.
It will be a beautiful morning to begin the festivities, with a special performance by Moli Edwards and Father Christmas will make a quick stop before he heads off on his travels. He will have some goodies with him for all the children and maybe a mince pie for the grown ups.

Please bring a bell if you can, but not to worry, we will have some available for those who don't have one.

We truly hope you can join us at this incredibly special festive event, standing alongside bereaved parents, showing them that they are not alone and their children will always be remembered.

We are so grateful for you all. Diolch 💚

It’s been a little quieter on here, but life behind the scenes has been anything but. Between creating, editing and delivering the newest copies of The Swansea Edit, and a whirlwind trip to Texas to see family, the days have been full in the best possible way.

I’m back home now and firmly back in the swing of things in Swansea. There’s a lot that goes into bringing each issue to life, from writing original articles to working closely with our brilliant contributors to make sure every feature feels right for them and for you.

I’m also delighted to say we’ve welcomed two new contributors to the magazine, and I’ll be introducing you to them very soon. Fresh voices always bring fresh energy, and I can’t wait for you to meet them.

Thank you for your patience while I stepped back for a moment. It means the world to know you’re still here, still reading, still supporting this little magazine that continues to grow because of our community.

Here’s to fresh pages, new stories and a very busy editor who’s grateful to be home.

Did you know, you can now pick up a copy of our magazine at some of our city’s car showrooms?

We’re really pleased to be available at:




Swansea.

We’re so excited to be bringing our incredible magazine to a whole new audience of loyal customers and new car buyers, at some of our city’s most well known car dealerships. Plus our resident petrol head is bringing us another ‘electrifying’ Revved Up article this issue - any guesses on which car they’ll be sharing with us?

Buckle up and read all about it, in our upcoming edition 🚗
