The Beacon was originally created in the 1860’s as a church magazine. Old copies of the magazine can be viewed at Fakenham Library and the Gasworks Museum. In 2001 it was decided to make the Beacon a church and community magazine, and distribute it free. Today it has a print run of 4,000 and is delivered monthly to every house in Fakenham. It can also be collected from church, sent by post or accessed online. Advertising pays the cost of it being printed by local printers Newprint and Design Ltd – www.newprintanddesign.co.uk. It has been widely admired in the county and Diocese as a good example of a church magazine, locally created with a wide range of information. As a church and community magazine it is well read and has up to date local information.

With a readership in the region of 10,000, advertising rates are very competitive starting as low as £17 per month. Colour is available at a premium and there is a discount for charities. Full details are on the order form which can be obtained by downloading it from the website advertising order form, by collecting it from the Rectory Office, by emailing the Rectory Office admin@fakenhamparishchurch.org.uk or by emailing Linda Frost via her email: linda@fakenhamparishchurch.org.uk .
