It is important to ensure that your event dates are complete and correct so to maximise your engagement with the public and stallholders.
Remember that the frequency field is displayed as text information only, and does not generate dates for your event. You must enter the dates into the calendar separately.
If your events dates "roll off" don't worry your event will still be found. Events without any valid future dates will be listed as "expired". It is best to ensure that a future date is associated to your event. We recommend, as a minimum, that every 3 months your review your event dates to make sure they are current. This is a good time to check other details as well.
To be confirmed events
New events that have not finalised their dates, should choose a date or dates that are most likely. Until your dates are final, please add to your event description and/or frequency the status TBC - to show event dates are yet to be confirmed. Once your dates have been finalised other dates should be deselected and the TBC notes removed.
Ad-hoc events
Typically around Christmas, New Year and Easter regular event dates are changed or extra dates added. Remember to update your event listing to reflect these changes. An additional day you are open can just be added to your normal event listing.
Sometimes though you might want to make a new event entry if you are having an event that is different enough to warrant its own page. Your ad-hoc event may have a special theme or different times to usual. For example if your usual event is daytime and you are having special twilight market for Christmas you might like to list this as a new event. On Stalltastic all standard event listings are free and you are not limited to one listing, however multiple listings will require multiple management, so choose what is best for you.
Editing your event dates
This is easy to do, simply login to Stalltastic and edit your event. Navigate using the Next buttons to move to the last section (page 3 of 3) which has the calendar. Selected dates (purple) will be marked as valid for your event. Click on a selected date to deselect it. You can change the month by using the small arrow buttons next to the month name.
This example has 21 Oct 2018 marked as one of the event dates.
