How we research our event guides

Every guide on Event Weekends is built the same way, so you know what to trust and what to double-check.

Event dates

We take dates from the organiser's published calendar: the official F1 and MotoGP calendars, race and tournament websites, trade fair organisers and university commencement pages. Where the next edition is not announced yet, we estimate it from the pattern the event has followed for years (for example "the last Sunday of September") and label it expected. Provisional calendars, such as circuits awaiting homologation or World Cup venues awaiting FIFA confirmation, are labelled provisional.

Monthly checks

Once a month we run a report of every event whose next edition is still expected, soonest first, and add official dates as organisers publish them. The "last updated" date on each page shows the latest review.

City content

Airports, transfers, neighbourhoods, hotels, restaurants, tours and transport notes are written per city and reused by every event in that city. Tour suggestions link to live listings on GetYourGuide so prices and times are always current. Restaurants are long-standing places; check opening hours before you go.

Weather and daylight

Weather sections use NASA POWER monthly climatology for 2001 to 2025 at each city. Near the sea, where the data cell is mostly water, we show the monthly average instead of separate highs and lows. Daylight is calculated from latitude and date.

How we make money

Tour links go to GetYourGuide and hotel links to Booking.com. We may earn a commission if you book, at no cost to you. Partners do not pay for placement and do not see our guides before they are published.
