— events found·— on Sat & Sun·— categories
Your week at a glance. Every event is grouped by day, with the ones you can still attend shown first. Filter by area, category, price or how new it is — then tap a card to open the booking page.
Tap Save on any event and it lands here, so the things you liked don't disappear when the week moves on. This list ignores the date filters and stays on this device only.
Everything you've kept, whatever the date — this list ignores the filters on the week board. Stored in this browser on this device, and shared with nobody.
Recurring courses rather than one-off workshops — the kind where you see the same faces every week, which is what actually builds a circle. Pick one and commit.
