Daily Events & Shows

LOOP's Daily Events Listing feature is designed to simplify how you showcase recurring events like daily talks, feeds, shows, and experiences — especially those that happen multiple times a day or every day throughout a season.

Whereas the standard "What's On" calendar remains great for seasonal and one-off events, Daily Events is perfect for time-specific, day-to-day activities like animal feeding times, keeper talks, planetarium shows, educational seminars, and daily entertainment or workshops.

How to set up Daily Events/Shows

1. Create the Daily Events Listing Page

• In the CMS, create a new Daily Events Listing node anywhere in your site structure.
• This creates a dedicated page where all your daily events will be shown.
• You can add a hero image, intro text, or content blocks above the listing.

2. Add Daily Events

• Under the Daily Events node, add individual Daily Events.
• You can add images, copy, details, tags, categories and locations.
• To set the instances, hover over an item in the content tree to add a 'Season'.

3. Set Show Times

• Within each Daily Event you can add Seasons (e.g. "Summer Holidays", "Term Time", "Weekends Only"), daily time slots per day of the week, and overrides to cancel or modify a show on specific dates.

Tips

• Use categories thoughtfully — consider splitting by type, age group, or included vs. paid add-ons.
• Add engaging content to individual events to showcase key speakers or highlights.
• You can have multiple listings (e.g. one for general visitors, one for schools or special groups).
• Think about your filtering logic early — it'll help structure the data for easier guest planning.

What Guests See

Guests choose the date they're visiting and get a tailored list of daily events for that day. Events at the same time are grouped together, and filters make it easy to find activities by category or location — creating a much smoother planning experience.
