COAST
A modern local media group rebuilding connection in the
UK’s coastal towns.
Don’t Miss Out Group is a modern local media group building trusted, high-engagement cultural platforms for UK coastal towns.
We publish hyperlocal newsletters, podcasts and guides that help people feel connected to where they live — while supporting independent culture, local businesses, and community life.
We believe local media can do more than inform.
Done well, it can rebuild pride in place, support local economies, reduce isolation and strengthen social fabric.
That’s why we’re building Don’t Miss Out Group as a scalable, place-based media model — launching carefully, town by town — with long-term sustainability and community value at its core.
WHAT WE DO
We create modern local media designed for places often overlooked by national platforms and abandoned by traditional media.
Our model combines:
Weekly “what’s on” newsletters with consistently high engagement
Town guides that act as living, independent cultural maps
Podcasts that champion local success stories to a visitor audience
Editorial-led social channels that amplify local culture, not noise
Community reinvestment, ensuring value flows back into the places we serve through micro-grants
Everything we build is rooted in trust, consistency and care for and pride in place.
WHY THE COAST?
Coastal towns are culturally rich, economically fragile, and too often ignored by national media.
They are also places where:
independent culture thrives
community identity matters deeply
connection can be rebuilt with the right local infrastructure
Don’t Miss Out Group focuses exclusively on UK coastal towns, launching carefully, town by town — working with local culture rather than extracting from it.

WHAT OUR READERS SAY…
-
I really don’t want to be on social media as it stresses me out, and now I don’t have to, to check what’s on, I can find out via email once a week and that gives me less anxiety.
