How to List a Venue on Eventsona (UK Guide)

What this guide covers

Eventsona’s venues marketplace helps UK venue owners publish hireable spaces—halls, studios, lounges, and more—so organisers can request bookings with clear dates, capacity, and sterling pricing. This walkthrough takes you from enabling venue owner features to a live listing with availability you can trust.

Step 1: Enable venue owner features

Before you create a listing, turn on venue owner access on your account:

Open your profile or account settings.
Find the Venue Owner section.
Enable the Venue Owner toggle.
Complete any verification steps requested so organisers can trust your listing.

Step 2: Create your venue listing

From your business dashboard, go to Venues and create a new venue. Fill in the fields organisers use to decide:

Basics: Name, short description, full description, and venue type(s).
Location: Address, city, country, and postcode so search and maps work correctly.
Capacity: Maximum capacity (and minimum if you have one).
Pricing (GBP): Base price, pricing model (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, package, or fixed), optional deposit, and cleaning fee if you charge one.
Media: A strong cover image plus gallery photos; add a video or virtual tour URL if you have them.
Amenities and house rules: AV, accessibility, catering notes, noise limits, curfews, and anything that prevents mismatched bookings.

Step 3: Set availability and booking rules

Choose how dates stay accurate:

Manual: Block or open dates yourself when the diary changes.
Calendar sync: Connect Google Calendar or an iCal feed so external holds can update availability (see the calendar sync guide).
Auto-accept: Automatically accept booking requests when they fit your rules—use only when your diary and pricing are stable.

Also set minimum booking notice, how far ahead people can book, cancellation policy, and any booking or insurance requirements.

Step 4: Review sterling pricing before you publish

Listings default to GBP. Double-check base price, deposit, cleaning fee, and how platform fees appear to organisers so totals are not a surprise at confirmation. Read current options on Pricing.

Step 5: Submit for verification and go live

When the draft is complete, submit for verification if required. Verified listings build trust. Once status is active, your venue can appear on the public Venues marketplace.

Step 6: Respond to booking requests

When an organiser requests your space, review dates, expected attendees, special requests, and payment status. Confirm or decline promptly, keep availability updated, and track deposit and balance through the booking record. For day-of flow, use check-in and check-out on the booking when the hire starts and ends. Full workflow: managing venue bookings.

Listing tips that convert

Use daylight photos of the main room, entrance, and facilities—not only logos.
State capacity honestly; overselling creates cancellations and disputes.
Keep blocked dates current so organisers request times you can host.
Write house rules in plain English (access times, load-in, noise, deposits).
After completed bookings, encourage fair reviews to strengthen your listing.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to sell tickets to list a venue?

No. You can list a hireable space for organisers who run their own ticketed events. Keep capacity, amenities, GBP pricing, and availability accurate so requests match what you can host.

What pricing details should I set first?

Start with base price in GBP, a clear pricing model (for example hourly or daily), deposit if you require one, cleaning fee if applicable, and a cancellation policy. Clarify totals before organisers request dates.

How do I avoid double bookings?

Block dates manually as soon as space is taken, or connect calendar sync so external holds update availability. Confirm pending requests quickly so your diary stays the single source of truth.
