The Bristol Parent website is celebrating its first birthday! Launched in January 2021, this popular online resource – complete with its own Facebook and Instagram pages – was set up in response to demand from schools and families across Bristol who, having seen the success of The Bath & Wiltshire Parent website, asked if they could have a similar product for their city.
“We had always considered launching a Bristol Parent, it was just a matter of choosing the right time and making sure that it could be as successful as The Bath & Wiltshire Parent,” said publisher Ian Waller.
“Since The Bath & Wiltshire Parent was launched way back in 2008, the focus has always been on producing quality news, events information and features that will be of genuine interest to families across the region. The result is that the product has become hugely popular, with the magazine earning its place as the biggest print publication in Bath and the only one to be distributed through every school in the city, as well as many more across the West Wiltshire, Saltford and Keynsham region. The website, meanwhile, is updated on a daily basis with news, events, reviews and features.
“When we launched the Bristol Parent website, it was crucial that the same level of care and professionalism went into producing the editorial content, offering real value to both the visitors to the website and the advertisers who buy space alongside it.
“Fortunately, we are able to call on a wonderful array of writing talent, local families, excellent connections with schools and close contacts with family-orientated venues, plus years of experience, to make sure that the Bristol Parent reaches the same standards as that enjoyed by The Bath & Wiltshire Parent.”
So what does the future hold for the Bristol Parent?
“We have a couple of very exciting projects planned for both the Bath and Bristol websites,” added Ian, “although you will have to wait just a little longer before we can unveil them! In the meantime, the team looks forward to working with schools and venues across both the Bath and West Wiltshire and Bristol regions to share their news and events, as well as reviewing the great activities that are available to families.”
