Send it to us
One button, once you are ready.
A person reads every event, and how long that takes depends on how many are in front of yours. You will get an email either way.

It goes live
In the programme, and promoted.
Across the website, our social channels and partner networks — and you can still edit it.
launch day
Nothing is submitted until you press the button — and nothing is lost if you stop halfway.
Start your eventThings worth knowing
One event, as many dates as you like
Running it three times? Add three dates. You do not fill the form in three times, and all three point at one page.
We size your image for you
Upload anything off your phone — any shape, any size. No dimensions to look up.
Nothing is lost if you stop
Everything saves as you type and we email you a link straight back to it. Nothing is submitted until you press the button.
You can still change it afterwards
Times, links, descriptions — and cancelling a single date is one click rather than an email to us.

Small grants
The Community Relations and Cultural Diversity scheme can help cover the cost of putting an event on — room hire, materials, transport, refreshments.

There is no wrong question. If you are not sure whether your event belongs in the programme, or you are halfway through the form and something will not behave, tell us and we will sort it.
