Any Questions?

Q: I've heard that only people who have signed up for the Visit Weston partnership scheme can advertise their events. Is that true?

A: No that's not true. Anybody can have their their event publicised within the what's on section of our website providing it is an event that we think visitors might want to attend.  But we do offer our Visit Weston partners extra - such as lots of coverage on our social media platforms as well. If you would like to become a partner you would have your own page on our website all year round (linking directly to your own website if you have one) plus your events listings whenever the happen. There's also additional promotion on our socials. To find out more about becoming a Visit Weston partner click here.

Q: I run a football club for boys and girls. The girls train every Tuesday night and the boys every Wednesday night. Can I advertise that?

A: Unfortunately not. Regular club nights for sports clubs, bridge clubs, book groups, choirs etc don't fall under our remit of things a tourist would be able to attend on a one-off basis.

Q: I've got my first gig coming up at a pub in Weston. Is that something I could submit?

A: Please do. We would love to hear from you so that we can sing about your debut gig from the rooftops for you, we just might not be able to do it quite as tunefully as you. Best of luck with the gig.

Q: I'm new to all this. I'm holding an event but I'm worried some performers might not turn up and that I might have to cancel it. 

A: We know these things happen. If you have to cancel an event for whatever reason, just email us at VIC@wsm-tc.gov.uk to let us know it has been cancelled and we will take it off our website for you. You don't even have to tell us the reason. If it is being postponed to a different date then please let us know and we will promote the new date for you.
