This guide explains how to set up a new Event in an existing Series or add a new One-Off Event in Eavis.

Before You Start

  2. Add Event Details - On the following form, fill out the relevant blank fields:

  • Event Type - Use the drop-down menu to select one of the following options: Music, Music Session, Speech or Classical. Choose the one that best fits your event type.
