About TownSpot

Feel part of where you live.

Hi there, I'm Mike. We're building TownSpot to help people connect with where they live or visit through well-designed hyperlocal calendars and automated local newsletters.

Back in 2019, I was living in Kentish Town and noticed something frustrating: brilliant local events, workshops, and community activities were happening all around, but neighbours had no idea they existed. Amazing local life was thriving and people were missing out.

My solution started with a simple weekly newsletter of local gigs, talks, and pop-ups. I soon realised this wasn't just about sharing events, it was about helping people feel part of the places they live.

Today, TownSpot helps:

  • Residents discover what's happening nearby, submit events they find, and feel more connected to where they live
  • Venues and organisers get their events in front of nearby people without depending entirely on social algorithms
  • Local publishers, property developers and councils use TownSpot's hyperlocal calendars, maps, and local event data to publish better local guides, improve resident engagement, and strengthen local life

I believe local life should be visible, joyful, and genuinely human, not buried in Facebook groups where the good stuff gets lost amongst posts about bad parking and lost cats.

TownSpot is growing with partners in the UK and beyond. We're proudly independent, fiercely hyperlocal, and building step by step.
