Organise your own event

Choosing your event

Do something you'll enjoy

It's the best way to make your events a success.  

Think about your friends and family 

Your event has to inspire them.

If they're football fans organise a five-a-side tournament or football quiz. If they have young children, try a child friendly event like a picnic.  

Be realistic

Do something manageable. A couple of small events can be better than one big one.
