Create your first event

Getting started ·5 min read ·Updated June 2026
You’re here because…

you have Venuera installed and want to publish an event with a date, a venue and the details buyers see.

In Venuera an event holds the where and when — title, date, venue and description — and one or more ticket types (WooCommerce products) sell entry to it. This article creates the event itself; selling tickets is the next article.

Add a new event

  1. Go to Venuera → Events → Add New.
  2. Give the event a title (e.g. “Summer Jazz Night”) and write a description in the main editor — this is the public event page.
  3. Set the start date and time, and an end if it has one. The start time is what Venuera uses for time-based check-in windows later, so set it accurately.
  4. Fill in the venue name and address. These appear on the event page and can be printed on the ticket.

The event editor — title, schedule and venue details.
The event editor — title, schedule and venue details.

Set the featured image

Add a featured image from the right-hand panel. It is used on the event page, in event listings, and as the thumbnail in the Check-in app’s event picker, so pick something recognisable.

Publish

Click Publish. Your event now has a public page at its permalink, but it has no tickets yet — visitors cannot buy anything until you attach at least one ticket type. Keep the event open (or note its title); you will link tickets to it in the next step.

Tip: Running the same event on many dates (a weekly class, a tour)? Don’t create one event per date — the Recurring Events add-on turns a single event into a series with one schedule.

Next step

Now create a ticket type and sell it.
