The Scene Magazines - Update

The June/July 2026 issues of The Scene magazines (both the Bursledon/Hamble/Netley edition and Woolston/Itchen/ Sholing edition) were the last to be published by Scene Media, 21 years after their launch.

 

However, this is not the end of the magazines. We are delighted to announce that we are handing the reigns over to the very capable hands of IMS Group who have managed the distribution of both editions of The Scene for many years and are very familiar with the titles. As publishers of BH Living across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, IMS have many years experience in the world of publishing. 

The team at IMS are excited to be taking over at this time and look forward to working with the contributors and advertisers over the coming issues.

 

The new contacts for The Scene magazines ONLY are:

Editorial: editor@scenemagazine.co.uk

Advertising: sales@scenemagazine.co.uk

Phone 01202 611100

We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported and contributed to the magazines over the years and hope that you will continue to do so with the new team at IMS Group.
