Considering an online booking system for your community venue, but not sure where to start?

Tired of paper forms, long email chains, and chasing unpaid invoices? An online booking system could be the solution.

We know switching to a new system can feel overwhelming—especially if technology or big changes aren’t your comfort zone.

That’s why at SpacetoCo, after helping hundreds of venues make the move, we’ve created a clear step-by-step guide. It will help you and your team feel confident about moving to online bookings.

If you’re a community organisation ready to make the change—or just curious about the benefits—this guide is for you!
