“Window on Wallingford” has been a much-loved free community magazine at the heart of the town. Sadly, volunteer support had dwindled over recent years, until the responsibility had fallen on a single person to carry the weight of managing production, publication and distribution, until WoW disappeared in February 2026.
Well, lately a new group of enthusiastic locals with varied skills and expertise have been meeting at Marceline Community Interest Boutique which has become a welcoming hub for many brainstorming sessions over homemade biscuits. Learning from previous volunteers who managed the magazine for a number of years, we have been planning and plotting to bring this free community magazine back with a vibrant new look and feel.
Although the volunteers are haply to do ate their tine and skills, a magazine can’t materialise from enthusiasm alone, so they started a crowdfunding campaign to raise £1,500 for the estimated production costs of the relaunch issue, after which ads will hopefully cover the printing costs.

Also if your business would like to advertise, if you have content submissions or want to join the volunteers, you are welcome to contact the team at [email protected] or pop in to Marceline Boutique on St Mary’s Street with ideas and suggestions to help get this publication off the ground.
SPREAD THE WORD! And keep an eye out for WoW's mascot Wowly...
