Public Events

# Public Events

FarmGateRun Public Events are dated farm, food, market, festival, workshop, field-day and other relevant regional visitor events. They are separate from ongoing business listings, Farm Experiences and private-event or group-booking offers.

Find an event#

1. Open Explore → Events.
2. Enter an optional keyword and choose a date range or custom dates.
3. Choose an Event Category if you want to narrow the results.
4. Choose a State or territory. You can then choose a FarmGateRun Region within it.
5. To search nearby, enter a suburb, postcode or address and choose a Google suggestion, or deliberately select Use My Current Location and respond to your browser's permission request.
6. Move the distance slider to narrow or widen the search. Choose the country-wide option to retain every matching event, including an event whose distance cannot be calculated.
7. Select Find events, then open an event for its full dates, venue and official visitor links.

The starting point is sent to FarmGateRun to perform the search. It is not displayed on public event results or provided to the event owner. Distances are approximate planning aids, not route or travel-time estimates.

Only approved events inside their configured discovery period appear publicly. An event disappears after its stated local end time or if it is cancelled, disabled, rejected or removed. Always confirm current times, ticket availability, access, weather impacts and cancellation terms with the official organiser before travelling.

Add or manage an event#

A signed-in user with an active account and verified email can open My Account → My Events / Add Event, then choose Add an Event.

Provide the event title, alphabetically listed category, visitor description, local start and end, timezone, venue and official visitor information. You can link the event to an approved business listing you manage or submit a standalone venue. Linking an event does not transfer ownership of the venue listing.

For a standalone venue:

• start typing the address and choose a Google suggestion; or
• deliberately use your current location and review the filled address; or
• enter both latitude and longitude or set the exact point on the map.

Review the populated Country, State or territory, Region, suburb and postcode before submitting. Latitude and longitude must be supplied as a pair and must match the selected country. Every new or edited event returns to moderation, including one entered by an administrator. It cannot appear publicly until an administrator explicitly approves it in Admin → Events.

You may associate published images from a linked listing without copying them, or upload an event image you have permission to use. An event image and its description remain subject to moderation.

Claim an official event listing#

If an event already exists and you are its official owner or authorised organiser, open the event and choose the claim action. Sign in with a verified account, provide the requested evidence and submit the claim for administrator review. Approval transfers management of that event only. It does not transfer the linked business or venue listing.

Renewing an annual event#

An eligible annual event can send its owner a private renewal reminder. The renewal link creates the next occurrence for review; it never republishes last year's dates automatically. The renewed details must be checked and approved before becoming public.

Events, bookings and payments#

FarmGateRun publishes approved discovery information and official external links. It does not sell event tickets, take event payments, confirm availability, control refunds or become a party to the organiser's terms. Contact the organiser directly about bookings, accessibility, children, animals, food requirements, cancellations and refunds.
