ABOUT THE GOOD GUIDE
WHAT
We are a niche guide that has mainstream appeal for our sons, daughters, mothers, brothers, new friends, old friends and distant relatives visiting a Good Guide nest. We are for local bars, fashion, art, design, insider trading, life and laughs. We’re cool but approachable, inspirational but accessible, we’re fresh, sustainable, quirky, conscious, ethical, creative and much more. Just ask us!
The Good Guide is the locals knowledge that answers the ‘where to go now’ question for the conscious lifestyler. We want you to explore your locale like a local (even if you are one!). No more do you need friends or strangers to write down where’s good to go. It’s now contained in the pages of The Good Guide. Stock up for your friends, loved ones and of course yourself! Share the love. Do something nice and give it to a stranger. Pass it on.
WHERE
Where can you get the The Good Guide?
Our venues listed each issue proudly display & hand out the guides. Most inner-city boutique, four, and five star hotels, and Palace Cinemas also display them. Ask for the gold pigeon & give them your best wink when you say “I saw you in The Good Guide”. Alternatively, contact us here if you’d like to get some copies for you, your friends or for an event.
WHY
The Good Guide is all about community and localisation. We want to showcase the underground happenings of our flourishing nests… hidden gems to discover and cool cultural events. There’s so much good stuff going on, shops opening, music being made, things being created, fashion being designed… all from our native nests that see the sun shining (well, most of the time!).
The Good Guide community to works together to create a stronger future creative community that encourages innovative ideas, unique products and independent business. The Good Guide flock is a small passionate team who are proud to be giving visitors and locals a valuable vehicle to soar to new heights and discover the cultural pulse of ‘what’s going on now’.
WHEN
We’re dedicated to hitting the hearts and hands of our fans bi-anually to ensure The Good Guide is on the streets and freely available.
