About Ashby Life
Ashby Life is an independently owned A5, full colour, magazine. We publish 10 issues a year - one each month with the exception of Jan/Feb and July/Aug both of which are combined issues. Launched in 2005 the magazine has grown steadily. Each edition contains a combination of community information, a local walk, details of upcoming events, puzzles, articles, recipes and advertising for local businesses.
