What makes a strong listing?

Real specificity

Name the host, format, age guidance and hook.

An image that earns the click

Use a sharp, well-cropped image.

Planning confidence

Add tickets, recurring dates, venue access details and audience guidance.

Recurring events

Repeating events stay as one listing. Users see the next date, and ticketing stays tied to each occurrence.

Brighton Partner includes a higher recurring-date allowance for busier programmes.

Moderation and change requests

Moderation catches missing details, confusing pricing, date issues and duplicate submissions.

Live listings stay live while updates are reviewed.

Supporting the guide

Free is for everyone: community groups, artists, venues, clubs and local businesses.

Brighton Partner is for people who want to help the project grow while receiving higher limits, event insights, priority support and a monthly boost.
