Everything Your Programme Needs
Built around how venues actually schedule: runs, repeats, sell-outs and long exhibitions.
Seven Views
List, cards, month calendar, weekly timetable, day-by-day agenda, poster wall and slider. Switch any time; your events stay the same.
Repeats & Performances
Daily, weekly and monthly rules (“first Friday of the month”) with skipped dates, plus every performance of a show in a single entry.
Ticket Status That Sells
Few tickets left, sold out, cancelled or postponed, per event or per night. The ticket button goes to the shop you already use.
Add to Calendar & Share
Visitors save events to Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar, and copy a link that opens the event’s details.
Ready for Google
schema.org Event data is added for your upcoming dates, with venue, price and availability, so search engines understand your programme.
Filters, Time Zones & Languages
Category chips, venue and date filters and search. Times in your zone or each visitor’s, in English, Turkish, German, French or Spanish.
Made for Every Kind of Venue
Each sector starts from its own template, with the view that suits its programme.
