Imagine a world where managing your venue's diverse areas – from grand halls to intimate foyers – is as simple as a few clicks. With Peppered CMS's new 'Spaces' module, that world is now a reality.

With Peppered CMS's new 'Spaces' module, managing commercial hires alongside cultural events has never been easier.

What are Spaces?

Spaces represent all areas of your venue, including those often overlooked in traditional CMS systems. Whether it’s your foyer, atrium or specific halls, these can now be marked and selected as specific Spaces within Peppered.

Pioneered by Orpheus

Firstly, we'd like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Orpheus for sponsoring the creation of Spaces. This is an example of Peppered’s community-led roadmap in action—where our venues can directly influence what’s developed for the platform based on their needs. This is how we aim to foster digital sustainability in arts and culture.

Why Spaces matter

  1. Versatility: Whether you're hosting a cultural event in your main hall or a commercial gathering in your foyer, Spaces has you covered.
  2. Improved Organisation: Group different versions of the same hall (think varying tier setups) under one umbrella.
  3. Enhanced Digital Experience: Soon, visitors will be able to filter events by specific spaces within your venue, making navigation a breeze.
  4. Comprehensive Venue Representation: Showcase all your hireable spaces, from grand auditoriums to intimate meeting rooms.

How it works

The new structure is beautifully simple: Halls > Spaces > Locations

Don't worry about complex setups – existing halls with the same name are automatically grouped into a Space, ensuring a smooth transition.

"Before Peppered, our website had a number of restrictions – with content updates often needing agency support – and we couldn't properly showcase our artistic programme. Now our digital team has the creative freedom to craft engaging digital experiences. The platform's flexibility means we can respond quickly to opportunities, and it is incredibly exciting to be part of a community of venues all contributing to the platform's evolution."
