Run a venue
Updated August 20, 2026
If you run a venue, go to /admin and switch to the Venues tab at the top. Communities and venues are managed from the same place — only the tab differs.
Click a venue and its own panel opens. The menu on the left has four places: Overview, Events, Managers, and Settings. At the top of the panel, View venue takes you to the public page.
Overview
The venue's pulse: follower and event counts, what's coming up, and a notice if anything is waiting for approval.
Settings
Settings is split into four tabs.
- General — cover image, logo, the venue's name, a short introduction, and a longer description. The cover and logo are arranged exactly as the venue page renders them, so what you edit is shaped like what you get.
- Location — pick the address on the map, plus the How to get there note. Write that one in plain language: "6 minutes from Şişhane metro, entrance is on the back street". Whoever comes to an event there sees it on the event page too.
- Social links — Instagram, X, a website, and the rest. They appear as small icons on the venue page.
- Moderation — the Events show up right away switch. On, every event linked to the venue appears immediately and you can take down anything you don't want. Off, each one waits for your approval.
Save changes commits your edits, and you're warned before leaving with anything unsaved.
Managers
Managers is where you add the people who run the venue with you — type a name into the box and pick them from the results. Removing a manager takes away their access to settings and moderation.
The Owner row can't be removed: a venue always has one.
Handing ownership on
Transfer ownership, on the same page, moves the venue to someone else. The new owner gets full control and you stay on as a manager — you're not locked out.
Venues aren't deleted
There is no delete button. A venue is more than a page — it's the shared record of the events linked to it and the people following it — so it's handed on rather than removed. If you're done with it, transfer ownership.
