How to List an Event on our Website

Our What's On section is one of the most popular pages on this website, featuring a wide range of events in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. We list everything from major and annual events to activities organised by our partners and some community events. We want to have as many events on our website as possible in order to present the best range of information to locals and visitors.

Adding events to our website is free and as a business, a benefit of being a partner. We will not list non-partner events, if you are interested in joining us as a partner please see here.

How to Submit an Event

Please send us all of the information a visitor would need in order to attend your event, ideally in a format that can be copied and pasted: a link to the main website is ideal or a text document or information in an email. A scanned document is not suitable. Please attach at least one relevant image which ideally should be 1220×715 pixels, or larger, in landscape format and as a JPEG.

Include the following information and ensure it is submitted in time, as soon as possible and ideally at least two weeks before the event:

• The full name of the event.
• Date and time.
• Venue including address and postcode.
• Price and booking information.
• A detailed description.
• Contact information – phone and email.
• URL of website.
• At least one suitable image.

Events should be emailed to us – see our Contact details.

What We Do and Don't List

• We primarily list events that would interest visitors.
• Events mainly aimed at the local community are not normally listed. These include jumble sales, lunch for pensioners, small social events, club events etc.
• We don’t list “regular events”.  These include regular Sunday lunches and occurrences that are “normal business”, eg being open every weekend.
• We don’t list series such as a course of ten sessions where attendees “sign-up” for the whole course.
• We will list charitable events if we feel they are relevant to visitors.
• We will not list political events.
• We will not list any events that are inappropriate or with which we would not wish to be linked.
