How to add a One-off Event

date.

Fields Park or Green End. You can be as specific as you like.
Description: Type in a description of your event. This is your
chance to encourage as many people as possible to attend your event. Try to include a
description of what is happening and why (especially if it is an event for charity).
It is also helpful to be specific about where your event is taking place if you
haven't done so already in the Location section.
Cost: If your event has a cost, e.g. an entrance fee type it in
here. Please use the £ symbol.

You can put in specific times (e.g. 10:00am-4:00pm) or be less precise (e.g. 2
days).
Postcode: Type in the postcode of the venue of your event. When it
is clicked on a map of the location of your event will be displayed.
