Your Community Event checklist

Hosting community events is easy, but it can be daunting at first. This article provides a checklist for getting started based on the experience of other hosts.

This is our suggested checklist we also encourage you to join or Community Host Facebook Group

Date and Venue

What is the best community date for me?
Is the venue the right size for me?
Does it have a Premises Licence, including for film? (applies if you are making a profit or fundraising)
Will people at the back be able to see?
Does it have a reliable minimum 10Mbps Internet connection, or will I need to download films beforehand?
Can I do an audio-visual test?
Does the venue have Public Liability insurance?

Film Selection

Films are continuously added. On Jan 1st, you will be able to preview and create a shortlist.
Check your favourites and add them to the relevant screenings so the films appear on your listing.
Use our curated film selections for inspiration!
Request the film reel for your screenings so you can download it and avoid internet issues

The Big Day - At the Event

Consider extra fundraising - raffle?
Invite your own adventurous local hero to make an appearance.
Keep a spare film or two up your sleeve in case people don’t want to go home. It happens!
