CountryPal

CountryPal is the parish noticeboard for the British countryside — every village fete, farmers' market, plant fair, ploughing match and country show, gathered in one place and pinned to the map. FOR A DAY OUT Browse what's on near you, or roam the map and see what's happening across the country. Filter by weekend, category or region, and open any event for the full picture: dates and times, the venue on a map, directions, whether it's family friendly, dog friendly or accessible, and who to contact. Save the ones you fancy, and add them to your calendar in a tap — repeating events land in your calendar as repeating entries, as they should. FOR ORGANISERS Pinning up your own event takes a couple of minutes. Add your poster, find your venue with address lookup, and set your dates — one afternoon, a whole weekend, or every Saturday until Christmas. Your event appears on the website and in the app once approved, and your dashboard keeps everything in one place: edit details, see your listings, and review pitch applications from vendors. FOR VENDORS Stalls, street food, bars, makers and entertainers get a home of their own. Set up your stall profile with photos, your pitch size, power needs and paperwork, and appear in the vendor marketplace where organisers and event-goers can find you. See an event that suits? Apply for a pitch straight from its page, and track your applications from your stall. THE PRACTICAL BITS CountryPal is free, with no payments taken in the app. New events are checked before they appear. Your account is yours — sign in with email, Google or Apple, and delete it from within the app whenever you wish. Kettle's on. See what's happening down the lane.
