Why churches choose us
A UK team, UK support, UK servers and pricing that works for congregation-sized budgets.
Events we help churches run
From a packed carol service to a midweek coffee morning, the same platform handles it. Set it up once and share the link with your congregation.
Multiple service times, each with its own capacity.
Reserved seating or general admission. Choir, organ recitals, visiting musicians.
Tabled seating, dietary needs and an optional donation, all captured during the booking.
Free events are free. Open days, coffee mornings, volunteer sign-ups.
Stalls, raffles and refreshments. Free entry alongside paid activities and games.
Free events, genuinely free
Nothing at all on free events, and 5% + 20p per ticket on paid ones. No subscriptions, no contracts, no hidden extras. Pass the fee to attendees and your church pays nothing.
Donations alongside tickets
Add an optional donation to any event, so your congregation can give a little extra when they book. Contributions land in the same account as your ticket sales.
Reserve the best seats
Build a seating plan that matches your own layout, then hold seats back for clergy, the choir, or guests of honour. Everyone else books what's left.
Features for church events

Check-in and onsite payments just got easier! If you're scanning tickets or selling tickets on the door, we have two perfect apps to help.
Box Office App
Accept card, cash and contactless payments instantly at your event with our Box Office app. Great for ticket sales, merchandise, refreshments and more!
Scanning App
Validate tickets at entry, scan guests in and out, and monitor live attendance numbers. Works offline, and volunteers can help without seeing your data.
