Submit an event

Before you start

You do not need to log in to submit a new event. When you submit for the first time, Deaf Where? automatically creates an organiser account using your email address. You can use it later to edit your events or respond to a request for changes.

Some organisations use one shared email address for submissions, while others use individual addresses. Please check with your team and enter the address they want connected to the event.

Before continuing, please read the Submission Guidelines. For help with accounts, passwords, editing or images, read the Organiser FAQs.

Event details

Choose the one category that best fits your event.

Select every spoken or signed language used to deliver the event. This is separate from captions and other access features.

Enter the language, for example Sign Supported English (SSE) or Ukrainian Sign Language.

Select the hour when your event begins, then choose the minutes if needed. If it starts exactly on the hour, such as 4 pm, you can leave the Minute box unchanged or select 00.

The end date and time are optional. If you add an end time, select the hour and then choose the minutes if needed. If it ends exactly on the hour, such as 6 pm, you can leave the Minute box unchanged or select 00.

Enter the event details once, then add each additional date below. Deaf Where? will create a separate linked listing for every occurrence.

Tick this if the venue has not been confirmed yet.

The name of the venue or building

Only the street address – do not include city, postcode, or country

Enter only the town or city where the event takes place. Do not include the county, region or country.

Select the county or local area where the event takes place.

Only enter the postcode

Select where the event takes place. For events in the UK, choose England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. For events in Ireland, choose Republic of Ireland. If the event takes place elsewhere, select Other.

Select the country where the event takes place. Only use this field if you selected Other above. For England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland, return to the previous field and choose the relevant option there.

Choose one option. This controls what booking button appears on your event page.

Add the direct link people should use to book. A ‘Book now’ button will appear on your event page.

Add the email address people should contact to book. Your event page will show a button that opens a new email for them.

If you have a webpage with extra details, add it here. No booking button will appear on your event page. If you provide a link above, a ‘More info’ link will appear instead.

Access and inclusion

Important: Deaf Where? lists events delivered in a signed language or with signed-language access.

Use the Event language choices above to identify every spoken and signed language used at the event.

The tick boxes below are for additional access provision.

Examples:

  • If the host or presenter signs directly in BSL, ISL or another signed language and there are no interpreters, do not tick “Sign language interpreters”.
  • If interpreters are booked, tick Sign language interpreters. The event-language choices tell visitors which signed languages are available.
  • If there is nothing extra to add, such as captions or wheelchair information, leave the additional access options blank.

Tick this when interpreters are provided. Do not tick it when a presenter delivers the event directly in a signed language without interpreters.

Description and media

A short 1–2 sentence intro that appears just below your event title on the event page and in the listings.

Organiser

On your first submission, this becomes your permanent account username and will also appear on your listing. It cannot be changed later, so use your organisation name if you do not want your personal name shown.

Only fill this if it’s different from the box above. Don’t type legal types like “Community Interest Company”, “CIC”, “Ltd”, or “Charity”.

We’ll use this to contact you. Tick ‘Show email publicly’ if you’re happy for it to appear on the page.

Optional. Enter the organiser’s Instagram handle if you would like Deaf Where? to link to the account and potentially tag it in social-media posts.
