When describing an event, the following convention should be used:

Introduction should be italicised
Event Title should bold and linked
Trailing information should also be italicised

In addition:

  • Each line should be terminated with < br> rather than a double CR
  • Where a group performs over multiple years, the title of the show should be the 'event' (for example, Leominster Drama Group plays)
  • Except where the name of the performer is the event itself (for example, Birmingham Philharmonic Orchestra)
  • The event page should have the year in brackets as a suffix, but the unbracketed name should be displayed - this makes the events clearer in lists and solves the problem of events having the same name over multiple years or the same name as the artist.

Guidance on content:

  • Dates should be 5th March in full.
  • Times should use a full stop, not a colon, and always include the minutes - 7.00pm.
