Add Your Event or Group To The #HaltonHour What’s On Calendar
Recurring Events
If you have a regular class or group, it is much simpler to add all the dates at the same time. BUT – you can’t do that with a standard login.
Sorry.
However, I CAN add those recurring events for you. There is a small fee of £3 – here’s the shop link to the Submit Your Event payment.
Like I said in the video, if you are a local Community Group I’ll add your recurring events FOC. Just contact me on Twitter – it’s the easiest way to find me!

Local groups are more than welcome to add their meetings to the calendar. The only real proviso is you must be an open group. There’s really no point in adding your group to a calendar if people are not welcome to join in!
What is the #HaltonHour definition of Local?
#HaltonHour really champions or local businesses and community. Of course, Halton means Runcorn and Widnes.
But we are in the Liverpool City Region. So “Local” also includes our neighbours in Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens, and Wirral.
Not forgetting our Cheshire neighbours, Frodsham, Helsby and Warrington! If you have a WA postcode, you’re in!
