Keep venue news in one place

Publish an announcement with a clear subject and the details people need to act on. State who the notice affects, when the change applies and whether followers need to book, contact the venue or make another arrangement.

For information that changes over time, include the relevant date. Review notices as circumstances change so that an old announcement does not create confusion. Keep the current event details and venue status consistent with what the Noticeboard says.

Venues can use notices for changes to session arrangements, reminders about upcoming activities, holiday information or instructions for arrival. A well-written notice explains the practical effect on participants rather than requiring them to work it out from a short status label.

A studio temporarily changes the entrance participants should use. A Noticeboard update explains the alternative entrance, the dates it applies and any change to arrival instructions. The message gives visitors useful context without implying that every class is cancelled.

Followers have a place to look for venue announcements alongside the venue's other information. They can understand the reason for a change and check what action is required. For an event reservation or payment, they should still follow the instructions on the relevant event page.

Use the Noticeboard for information suitable for the venue's audience. Keep private participant details and individual booking matters out of general announcements.
