Creating an Event

Events are public listings that appear on the Riverland Faeries website. They can be anything from a one-off workshop to a weekend gathering.

Before you start

• You'll need at least one venue and one organiser set up (see Managing Venues and Organisers)
• Have the event details ready: title, dates, description, and an image

Steps

1. Navigate to Admin > Events
2. Click + New Event in the top-right corner
3. Fill in the event details:
   • Title: the event name as it will appear publicly
   • Type: select the event type (e.g. Gathering, Workshop, Social)
   • Date and time: start date, end date, and times
   • Venue: select from your existing venues
   • Organiser: select one or more organisers
   • Description: a full description (supports rich text)
   • Photo: upload a cover image for the event card
   • Category and tags: choose a category and add relevant tags
   • Links: add links to community chat groups, ticket pages, or other resources
4. Click Save

The event will appear in the admin event list. It becomes visible on the public site once published.

Tips

• Use a high-quality landscape image for the event photo; it appears prominently on event cards and detail pages
• Keep the description concise but informative; include practical details like what to bring, accessibility info, and how to get there
• You can create the event as a draft first and publish it later
