Who works with 2 Forks Events
We hear from every corner of the events and hospitality world. Festival and event organisers want to fill seats and sell tickets. Venues, bars and restaurants want to be discovered by people planning a night out. Ticketing platforms, booking tools and event-tech brands want to reach organisers who buy software. Food and drink producers, breweries and pop-up traders want to reach hungry, curious audiences. Tourism boards and destination marketers want to put a place on the map. If your work helps people find or run great events, there is usually a sensible way to collaborate.
Ways to collaborate
Each option below has its own page with the detail and next steps:
- Advertise — reach our readers with clearly marked placements and campaigns.
- Sponsored content — a labelled article that tells the story behind your event or venue.
- Get featured — earned editorial coverage decided on merit, plus the paid alternative.
- Partners — season-long relationships, co-published guides and community work.
- Press releases — announce a line-up, launch, date or milestone.
- Write for us — contribute a guide or feature as an author.
What we will and will not do
We keep a clear boundary between commercial work and editorial judgement. We will run labelled ads, publish disclosed sponsored features, and consider any event or venue for honest coverage. We will not sell undisclosed or disguised paid links, we will not pass off a promoter’s copy as our own review, and we will not let a payment rewrite a verdict. This is not just principle — it is what keeps readers trusting our recommendations, which is the only reason a placement here is worth having.
How to choose the right option
- You need bums on seats fast: start with advertising.
- You want to tell a story: choose sponsored content.
- You want a genuine recommendation: pitch us for an editorial feature.
- You have timely news: send a press release.
- You want a season-long presence: talk to us about a partnership.
What to send us
The more you tell us, the faster we can help. Share what you are promoting, the dates and location, who you want to reach, any budget or timing constraints, and links to your event page or venue. If you are unsure which format suits, describe the result you want — tickets sold, bookings, awareness — and we will suggest the honest route to it.
Our audience
2 Forks Events readers are planners and doers: they browse listings, save events, book tables and share plans with friends. They are the people who decide where a group goes on Friday night. We do not publish inflated attendance or traffic figures on this page — if you need audience numbers to plan a campaign, request our media kit and we will share current data.
