Spotlight On: Visit Brighton

We have an exhaustive list of live events taking place across the whole of the UK. As well as listing everything on our website we also distribute this data to our partners, including Visit Brighton. Events help drive tourism to an area, and for one as large as that covered by Visit Brighton, collecting everything used to be a time consuming process. Enter Data Thistle, who increased Visit Brighton’s events from about 275 to an average of 1,500 events on their site. Not only that but we are on hand to take care of any updates or changes to existing event listings. Our automated processes mean that, as well as the larger venues, we also provide events from smaller ones across Brighton, saving them time otherwise spent on manually searching for and uploading events. The staff at Visit Brighton are now freed up to work on promoting their wonderful city.

There are a great selection of events coming up in Brighton and Hove — take a look!
