The Village Voice is a community newspaper produced by Shavington Village Festival Committee. The Village Voice was first published in October 1981 as a means for local charities, organisations and individuals to advertise their activities to a large number of people. It is distributed four times a year by a team of unpaid volunteers, who deliver between 50 and 100 copies to their immediate local area; many of these volunteers have been delivering the Village Voice ever since it started. It has been edited since October 1986 by Adrian Hancock.

​

​The printing of the Village Voice is paid for by advertising revenue, though over the years it has had to be subsidised on occasions by the Festival Committee; it receives no funding from any other source, and is independent of any local councils. The advertisers are mainly small local businesses and individuals who are able to provide a service to the people of Shavington.
