common questions

before you start

Does it cost anything to list an event on Nowt On?

Not right now. We built Nowt On to support local venues, artists and promoters, and listing your events is currently free. If we ever add paid features, we'll tell you first.

Do I need an account?

Not to get started. You can DM your event post to @nowtonevents on Instagram, or fill in the quick form, without one. Linking your website or Facebook page needs a free account so we know where to send your drafts.

Will anything go live without me checking it?

No. However your event comes in, you see the details we've pulled out and approve them before it's published.

Where will my event show up?

On the Nowt On map, diary and iPhone app, and on its own event page that Google and ChatGPT can find. It can also be picked for our weekly newsletter and our weekly Instagram roundup.

Can I see how my events are doing?

Yes. Your dashboard shows views, clicks and likes for each of your events.

Which areas do you cover?

Mostly Cumbria and the Lake District for now: Kendal, Windermere, Ambleside, Keswick, Penrith, Carlisle and the towns and villages around them, plus nearby places like Lancaster. There's no hard limit, so if you're running something elsewhere in the north, you're welcome.

all set?
