🔥 High Fire Risk Alert 🔥
With the hot, dry weather continuing, the risk of grass and wildfires is extremely high across the Box Moor Trust estate.
Please help us protect our precious wildlife and landscapes by following these simple but vital rules:
🚫 No BBQs or campfires
🚭 Dispose of ci******es responsibly
🚯 Take litter home – glass and bottles can start fires
🐾 Keep dogs under control and stay on marked paths
Let’s work together to keep our countryside safe for everyone.

We are all preparing for Christmas now, in various ways. The chances are we will all overeat and overindulge....... Music at St Johns have the solution for us: the annual New Year's Eve 10k Run/5k Walk. This is an excellent way to get active again after the festivities. The route starts and ends at St John's Church and proceeds along the canal towpath. It is suitable for buggies (perhaps with a few adaptations and especially if it is muddy!) and it is definitely recommended to bring your four-legged friends. They will be in good company.
Only 5 days to go until we will be joined by Boxmoor and South Hill school choirs, for music, mulled wine and lights...plus a very special guest!! Huge thanks to Christmas Tree Place, Berkhamsted for our beautiful tree, and to Boxmoor Village Store for their generous sponsorship. We can't wait to see you all on Saturday 🎄

Advertising in Boxmoor Direct
I have been publishing Boxmoor Direct since 2005 and offer local businesses the opportunity to promote their services in a quality publication to the people who really want to use them - the locals. The cost to advertise is kept low, meaning businesses can afford to have a sustained marketing campaign over a number of months, giving them the best response.
A few good reasons to place your ad...
Great Value - Prices are kept low so that small businesses such as yours can make the most of your advertising budget and appear over a number of issues. Research shows repeat advertising works better at increasing sales than one-off ads ... our advice is ‘keep it smaller for longer’. Check out our prices here
Results - Around 80% of the businesses in the directory are repeat advertisers and some have been in every issue since 2005 - proof that Boxmoor Direct really does work for them.
Personal service - I want the directory to work for you, so I’ll do my best to make sure you get the most out of your advertising. I will help you to decide on the best-sized advert for your business and budget and work with you to create an eye catching advert.
Well Read - Boxmoor Direct contains great articles, useful local information and listings of local events, as well as being the source for finding reputable local businesses. This, along with it’s handy A5 size, means that residents hold onto their directory until the next issue arrives, so your advert will be seen again and again.
