Help users find and view an event

Event page template

Use this when you want to list a local event on the Buckinghamshire Council website. Create your event listing as a child page from the Events index.

This template is for use by Buckinghamshire Council employees.

Don't use this template for general news items. Use our news template instead.

In the template, add details about:

• when the event starts (date and time)
• when the event ends (date and time)
• where the event is happening

Event dates and times appear under the title at the top of the page.

Add a short introduction or call to action to encourage people to come along. This will appear above your body copy.

Add some body copy to tell people about:

• who the event is for
• why the event is happening (for example, as a fundraiser, celebration or commemoration)
• if the event is part of a wider initiative (such as a national competition)
• where they can book tickets or register, if required
• where they can find out more
• who is hosting the event

If you are promoting several events across Buckinghamshire as part of a series, use the postcode lookup component to help people find one closest to where they live.

There are also a number of other places to advertise events such as:

• the Family Information Service directory
• the Buckinghamshire Online Directory
