About the Magazine

Active Kids Magazine has over six years raised the bar in terms of what parents, carers and indeed advertisers might expect from a free local what's on guide.


The Midlands-based publication has a reputation for its attractiveness, its readworthiness – many articles being written exclusively for Active Kids Magazine  – and, perhaps most importantly, its trustworthiness with regard to its events information. As parents ourselves we share a passion with our readers for making the most of family life. As  experts in our field we also have a passion for producing a magazine you and we can be proud of.

In early 2007 we launched a companion website directory Active Kids Online, as an extension of the magazine's very strong events information service.  Active Kids Online also offers an ever-growing listings guide to after-school activities and children's parties.  The website has been a stunning success, enhancing rather than simply duplicating one of the most important elements of Active Kids Magazine.

Managing editor Jenny Hopkins says, "We have set a standard for Active Kids Magazine and now our website that we don't ever want to compromise. There are enough organisations out there whose aim is first and foremost to be the biggest. For our readers and advertisers in the Midlands, I am more than happy for Active Kids – whether in print or online – simply to be the best".
