When you are looking for local events to go out to....?

Question

What do you look for listings in/ how do you find out about events to go to?
(local paper, library, tourist info centre/ shop windows/ billboards/ word of mouth/ radio-tv / word-of-mouth etc?)

(question as part of some research I am doing)

Answer 1

I look in the local (free) papers. Word of mouth or do an internet search.

Answer 2

I usually register on line or at the venue/box-office of any venues that I know provide cultural activities I am already interested in so that they put me on their mailing-list and I receive either their hard-copy brochure in the post (my preferred option) or an email of the same. I then usually (try to get round to!) circling events I'm most interested in and then transfer the 'must sees/must-go-tos' into each week of my diary to prompt me about forthcoming local events. Otherwise, (roughly in order) 1. I usually do an approximately monthly sweep of all the various local-cultural-activity-brochures that i find at my local library, take home and circle and transfer to diary as above, because I have very ltd time and funds, i like to select in advance and go out with specially invited friends for a 'special treat' 2. I regularly take a moment to look at the advertisements displayed by the local venues I pass during daily living or billboards here and there 3. Word of mouth - I often ask people what's new during lunchtime and if their is anything they could recommend that I might be interested in locally 4. I use the Internet search facilities to find out especially what's on at the cinema

Answer 3

I quess it depends on the event. Billboards are around for big events like fairs and forums. For the good stuff, like concerts, coffee house events, and art gallery openings Poughkeepsie has a free publication that advertises everything not quite mainstream. I also like to look online-- websites have become a great resourse for planners to access a larger amount of people. But Nothing beats word of mouth. Word of mouth, that buzz, is what you really need to get a local event of the ground.

Answer 4

I run a poetry group in south London. Places I advertise events are the local libraries, local newspapers, websites which cover local events, and our own website. Each brings some people along - & word of mouth from people who have been before

Answer 5

I look in my local paper, mostly. I check billboards and things when I pass them, and, if something looks good, I'll ressearch it on the web to find out more. When someone reccomends something, I usually do that, so word-of-mouth is a big way that I fiind out about events. Its never raido or tv ads or my library.

Answer 6

Our next 'enormous' experience, i imagine, is my daughter's Open homestead in school. She merely began Kindergarten, so she's VERY enthusiastic about it! She keeps asking me at the same time as the 'celebration day' is! LOL And sure, that replaced into exciting. i do not keep on with the impersonating trolls a lot, yet Texas appears onto them...Curious what their next bypass will be... I wish that they had extra substance, except merely typing nonsense and attempting to bash different customers. they merely are not extreme adequate for my liking...

Answer 7
