Forty slightly unusual things to do this month…

There are over 43 000 cities, towns and villages across the UK, many with local event listings published regularly – either online or through hard-copy in magazines, leaflets and newspapers.

The UK events industry has a significant economic impact worth around £40 billion, with 5 500 event planners listed in 2023, over 10000 conference venues and approximately 775 000 people employed.

“Event” in this context can be defined quite broadly and can include corporate events, conferences, exhibitions and trade shows, concerts & music events, celebrity & private parties, sports, charities, weddings, fashion shows, seminars, workshops, venue openings, museum happenings and much more.

Events are per definition time-critical, with many occurrences a once-off only. For any events listing aggregator, it is imperative to see event announcements as “fresh” as possible.

Vreeslik is the ideal online channel to keep track of the thousands of event- related site updates across the UK, with non-stop 24/7 event-snippet feed streams custom-designed to client specifications.
