How to add a listing
The local directory is built by people who live and work here. Adding your business, shop, cafe or venue is free and takes a few minutes. Here is the whole process, start to finish.
- 1
Sign in, or make a free account
Go to the submit page and sign in with your email address. We send a one-time code, so there is no password to remember. A new email address creates an account automatically.

Choose "Business listing"
On the submit page, pick the Business listing tab. The same page also handles events, activities and sports updates, so check you are on the right tab before you start.

Fill in the details
Add the business or venue name, a category, a short description, the full address and the postcode. A phone number and website are optional, but they help people get in touch. The postcode is used to place the listing on the map.

Add a photo
A photo is optional but makes a listing stand out. JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF up to 10MB. You can add or change the photo later from your dashboard.
- 5
Send it for review
Press "Submit listing for review". An editor checks every listing before it appears, so expect a short wait rather than instant publishing. You will get a notification when it is approved.
After your listing is approved
Your listing appears in the directory and can be found through search. You can edit it at any time from your dashboard; edits are checked again before they go live. Once a listing is live, you can also attach events and activities to it, so they show alongside your business.
