How to List an Event on our Website

Our What's On section is one of the most popular pages on this website, featuring a wide range of events in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. We list everything from major and annual events to activities organised by our partners and some community events. We want to have as many events on our website as possible in order to present the best range of information to locals and visitors.

Adding events to our website is free and as a business, a benefit of being a partner. We will not list non-partner events, if you are interested in joining us as a partner please see here.
