The National Events Database reduces fragmentation and builds a shared national picture of where people gather.
The National Events Database is a free, national, self-service platform that maps events and venues across the UK.
It shows:
• What is happening
• Where it is happening
• When it is happening
Includes a link to the event website
Allows events to be claimed by the organiser if listed by someone else
The platform is open to all events and venues, regardless of size, sector or compliance status.
The National Events Database has been created to make it easier to see what events and venues are operating across the UK and when and where they are taking place.
Until now, there has been no single place where this information can be viewed clearly and consistently. That makes planning, coordination and communication harder than it needs to be. The NED helps organisers, venues and stakeholders build a shared picture of activity over time.
It is designed to provide a shared information reference that may assist venues, event organisers, and relevant public safety stakeholders in understanding event landscapes and planning preparedness. Any use of this information by external organisations, including regulators or authorities, is subject to their own independent policies and does not reflect an existing formal data sharing agreement.
Registration is self-service through the website.
You can:
• Register a new event
• Register a venue
• Update an existing listing
• Easily duplicate and edit listings for periodic or repeat events
• Create an on-line or off-line record to allow for planning and licensing constraints or sensitive activities
As a public facing tool it maps events and venues and provides a clickable web link.
As an industry tool it builds a common operating picture.
Behind the scenes it includes secure data on Who is involved – including key contacts and is a repository for Policies and Procedures.
Whether you run a free to access village fete, a parade, a ticketed stadium, multi-venue festival or an Enhanced Tier exhibition venue, you can register, update and be seen – or opt for privacy.
