Dartford Living Where to go Locally

by | Oct 29, 2015 | Where to go locally

Dartford Living are launching a Where to go locally website to compliment out Where to go locally pages in the magazine. We wanted to bring together listings for local clubs, Parent and Baby groups, Local attractions and events happening locally.

All listings for local clubs and groups will be free. There will also be an events diary that we will putting on all of the local events throught the year.

The only listings that will be chargable will be for local paid for attractions such as farms, museums etc. and this will be a minimal £20 per year for a listing.

We felt there was a need for a website that brought all of these things together and made it a lot easier for people to find out what is going on locally without having to search through numerous different websites.

If you would like to submit a listing or an event please email locally@dartfordliving.com
