ARE you running an event and want people to know about it?
Our Local Events platform showcases your local listings to more than 4,500 places – including here on the Hereford Times in print and online.
Whether you want to advertise a gig, festival, sports session or even a jumble sale, you can do it on our new What’s On events calendar – and it doesn’t have to cost the earth.
Here's an example, above, of how a local event has been posted on the Hereford Times Local Events calendar online, and is appearing this week in print too (you can see it on Page 2 of your Weekender section in this week's paper, out on Thursday, March 24).

Premium options are also available to have your event featured more prominently on the site, syndicated across the largest network of listing sites, published in newspapers' events pages and more.
There’s also a one-off premium plan, or you can select one of the monthly subscription plans which are discounted up to 50 per cent for those with regular events schedules.
Enhanced listings receive in-depth stats and results, with revenue and click-tracking from your own event dashboard. Premium event marketing includes:
• Event syndication to listing sites, calendars, and targeted music sites to get your event maximum exposure.
• Search engine optimization to ensure your event shows up everywhere your attendees are looking, especially on Google.
• Detailed reporting with information on-site traffic and click-throughs to your links. You can see exactly where your attendees came from and how much revenue has been driven from each listing site. Pricing is tailored to the event and your needs.
Morgan Stevenson, director of digital transformation for Newsquest (publisher of the Hereford Times), said: “We are excited to be partnering with Evvnt to power our local events offering for all of Newsquest markets.
“Evvnt replace traditional event calendars with dynamic event marketing automation platform which syndicates events’ content to multiple event listing sites and calendars as a service.
“These exciting features are perfect to support our communities emerge from this pandemic to enjoy safely what’s going on on locally.”
