Cut off date for the March edition is Friday 13th February.
Delivery from Friday 27th February
Dear Readers
Happy Valentine’s month to some, and Happy 22nd Birthday to us!
We started the local Oracle in our late 30’s and honestly thought it would be a 5 year business (if we were lucky!). 22 years later and now 60, we are still surprised but grateful to be here! We’ve made many changes over the years both area wise and the publication itself. We have had 3 website makeovers and countless distributors who have delivered as a family, as a form of getting fit, earning extra income or making friends with people on their rounds. We’ve seen startup businesses flourish and retire. Thank you, our readers for making this possible. Without you putting trust in us and using the local Oracle, it really would not be possible.
We consolidated our work and coverage to the Malling area in 2023 and cover 20,000 homes and businesses in Addington, Aylesford, Birling, Ditton, East Malling, Holborough, Kings Hill, Larkfield, Leybourne, Leybourne Chase, Leybourne Lakes, Mereworth, Offham, Ryarsh, Snodland, Wateringbury and West Malling.
We deliver monthly and are still the number one choice for residents to find a local business. All our advertisers can also be found on our website. www.thelocaloracle.co.uk
We’d like to thank readers, advertisers, distributors and printers. We’ll be in our 70’s if we make it another 10 years!
Have a great February.
With a printed distribution of 20,000 homes and businesses and an online copy we reach in excess of 50,000 readers.
Every 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and full page colour advert comes with: A-Z category listing and a page on our website.
We can print, supply leaflets and distribute 1,000 to 20,000 leaflets for you. Just tell us which areas you would like to target.
This is our business and you will only speak to us!

“We have been using the local Oracle to advertise for over 15 years and continue to do so now.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone, as the service they provide is fantastic with great results.
I am extremely happy”.

Become a host family with MHS – Medway Homestays Ltd
MHS are looking for host families for our European short stay students and teachers in your area now! It’s fantastic opportunity to put your spare room to work and make additional income for those extra treats or just to help financially.
Being a host is a totally unique experience and an opportunity for you and your family to meet and learn about different cultures, maybe learn a new language and meet some lifelong friends along the way. You don’t have to be a family to host for MHS you can be single or retired, we are just looking for kind and welcoming homes for our guests.
What does hosting involve?
Guests will require a room to sleep and relax, they can share a room and if you have enough space in your home you can host up to four guests per stay. Guests spend their days either in class or on excursions. They will require breakfast, a packed lunch and evening meal. Guests need to be dropped off at our meeting point by 07:45 and we will require picking up around 19:00, leaving you free to go to work or continue with your day. Most importantly they need to feel welcomed and part of your home life. Our students
Our students are aged between 12 and 17 they are usually travelling with their school as part of a cultural educational trip and want to experience the British way. These stays last normally 3 to 7 nights. We also host students as part of our language immersion stay; these students usually attend language lessons as well as seeing some of our amazing attractions. These stays last between 6 and 14 nights. With both stays, students are out all day. What we guarantee.
