WHAT WE HELP WITH

Events we help charities run

From 10 guests to 10,000, TryBooking stays in the background so you can focus on what matters. Quietly doing its thing while you do yours.

Fundraising galas and dinners

Tabled seating, dietary and sponsor tables during booking. Donation add-ons at checkout.

Trivia nights

Team tables or individual tickets. Team names and dietary in one step.

Fun runs and challenges

Free or paid entries. Participant details, t-shirt sizes, emergency contacts.

Raffles

Sell raffle tickets online and at the event. Bundle pricing, prize baskets, and a clear draw your supporters can follow.

Community events

Free events are free. Information sessions, open days, volunteer orientations.

A win-win for our not-for-profit

"As a not-for-profit, this is a win-win for us as it doesn’t cost us and our guests are happy to pay a booking fee, comfortable in the knowledge that it gets donated back."
