The local and regional media will be interested in the Tranquillity Zone venture but it requires care to present it to them properly. See the page on contacting the media about this. Remember that your media can be print (newspapers), radio, and television.

You can also generate your own leaflets and posters and distribute them. Useful phrasing for these includes:

The Tranquillity Zone …Discover an oasis of calm and well-being for your body, mind and soul …The Tranquillity Zone is a multi-sensory experience of peace and serenity, held in a candlelit setting. It is a place of rest, reflection and spiritual refuelling, with inspiring words and soothing music. A welcome escape from the pressures of life.

Don't forget to include a contact telephone number and e-mail address, and to mention who the organising body is. You might like to include the URL for this Website www.tranquillity-zone.org.uk as well.

The friends distribute these leaflets around the town, and in public centres such as libraries, public information centre, music shops and anywhere else where people agree to display the poster.

If the Tranquillity Zone is being held for or in association with another organisation, speak to them about joint publicity for it. Two sets of resources are better than one.

Finally, regarding the media, don't forget you have two chances to publicise the Tranquillity Zone: before and after. While before is better in generating interest for this time, more publicity after will help familiarise people with the Tranquillity Zone concept and make things easier the next time it is held. Why not do both? If the press send a photographer or the radio do an interview that is very good, but if not you can submit a press release afterwards reporting on the Tranquillity Zone and its success.
