Pukaar Magazine reaches a wide local audience

Pukaar Magazine has published quarterly since 2012. Our glossy magazine is distributed to 5000 businesses and leisure venues around Leicester and Leicestershire. Our subscribers live across the Midlands region and we offer a range of print advertising solutions. Pukaar Magazine has a loyal South Asian readership but is written and published for everyone.

Celebrating diversity

Our purpose

Pukaar Magazine is designed and published from our office in Leicester. It has twice been a finalist at the Asian Media Awards. Although we have a significant audience in the BAME community we are proud to be a magazine for all. Our founding mission was ‘Celebrating Diversity’ – and that is what we continue to do a decade later. 

Our contributors

Pukaar Magazine regularly features contributions from a number of key Leicester media figures such as ITV Central News Editor Gary Newby, presenter Rajiv Popat and former Leicester Mercury editor, George Oliver. Past contributors and interviewees have also included Sir David Attenborough, University of Leicester vice-chancellor Nishan Canagarajah, the Dean of Leicester David Monteith and Leicestershire Police Chief Constable Simon Cole.

Our content

Our magazine publishes brand-safe content reflecting the contribution of communities to Leicester and the Midlands region. It is produced by journalists, designers and copywriters who have wide experience in media and communications and work to a high standard.
