About Us

The Grapevine started life in 2005 as The Bantry Grapevine, a black and white publication designed to keep the people of Bantry up to date with events and activities happening in the local area. Since its first issue in February 2005, it has grown to become a much sought after source of local information, and has increased its circulation from 3000 to 6000, now covering the wider West Cork area and South Kerry.

The Grapevine is predominantly a community based magazine, welcoming contributions and articles from local people on any subject that may be of interest to the readers.

The magazine is regularly posted overseas to friends and relatives who have left town and who are delighted to receive news from home.

Based from our offices in Bridge Street, Bantry, Editors Liz Campbell and Oivia Barry are familiar faces around Bantry town and are always happy to welcome contributors and advertisers to the office to discuss publication in the magazine.
