What is Collective Magazine?

We’ve been talking about doing this for a while.

With everything going on across Apres, Chalet 86, and Longsands, there was never really one place to show it all properly — what’s on, what we’ve been up to, what’s coming next, and everything in between.

So this is our way of pulling it all together.

Collective Magazine is something you can pick up in the bar, have a flick through, and get a feel for what’s happening locally — a bit of sport, a bit of music, a bit of clothing, a bit of behind-the-scenes, and plenty from the bars.

What You’ll Find Inside

• What’s on locally and in the bars
• Live sport highlights and big fixtures
• Wine and cocktail picks
• Local stories and “Tales from the Quay”
• Community features and local businesses
• A few things just for fun

Each issue will evolve as we go, but the idea stays the same — something worth picking up, not just something that ends up soaked on a table.

Where to Get It

You can pick up the latest issue at:

• Apres
• Chalet 86

We’ll also feature selected sections here on the blog — so you can catch up on stories, events and highlights online.

The Full Experience

That said, the magazine is designed to be read properly — in the bar, pint in hand, mid-conversation.

The photos, the layout, the feel of it — that’s something you only really get in person.

So if you’ve only seen it online, you’re only getting half of it.

Next time you’re in, grab a copy and have a proper look through.

This is issue one — and we’ll keep building on it from here.
