What’s on

What the city’s venues publish, alongside the plan ideas.

No events published here yet.

When a venue publishes one, it’ll show up in this list.

real streets

Everyone by their own route, and a neighbourhood to meet in

It looks at how far each person has to travel and comes up with places in a neighbourhood that suits the whole group. For people you already know, you’ll see how they’re getting there, never where they’re setting off from. Nobody in the plan sees your starting point.
