Event page template
When to use this 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.
When not to use this template
Don't use this template for general news items. Use our news template instead.
How it works
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.
Describing your event
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.
Other places to promote your event
There are also a number of other places to advertise events such as:
