Creating a venue

A venue is the physical location where your event takes place. You need at least one venue before you can create an event.

Steps:

1. From your dashboard, click Venues in the navigation menu.
2. Click New venue.
3. Fill in the venue details:
4. Name: the full public name of the venue (e.g. The Civic Hall).
5. Friendly link: a short identifier for URLs.
6. Capacity: the maximum number of people the venue holds.
7. Accessibility information: any notes about step-free access, hearing loops, and so on. This is shown publicly on your event pages.
8. Get-in notes: internal notes for your team (not shown publicly), such as parking or load-in instructions.
9. Click Save.

Adding a banner image:

On the venue page, click the banner area to upload an image. This appears on your public venue page.

Sharing access:

Like organisations, you can share venue access with other users from the venue page. This is useful if different people manage different venues.

Seating plans:

If your venue has fixed seating, you can attach a seating plan to it. See the article Creating a seating plan for details.
