Find out more about what makes LampPost unique in the events space.
LampPost is the only comprehensive source for events in Victoria. Our website and newsletter compiles all of the events going on around town and puts it into just a 5-minute read, saving you hours of scrolling through social media and different sources to find events you'll enjoy.
Not to worry, we're not going to flood your inbox with spam or low-quality content. We only send two weekly emails - one on Sunday and one on Thursday, both at 7pm sharp.
Other event platforms can't match our comprehensive list of events. We scour all the other platforms and community submissions to make sure we have a very detailed list of everything going on in the city. Our manual building of the event listing also ensures that you're not scrolling through pages of scam events & online webinars hosted by some yogi in Thailand. Plus, we make it super easy to filter out events based on date, price, and category.
What's more? We host our own events and cohort programs so that you can connect with us directly, build community, and have great experiences around the city, and compile resources like volunteering opportunities and clubs & regular meetup groups to get involved with.
Other platforms focus on events - we focus on community. That's why LampPost is different from other platforms.
We include all the events going on in Victoria and categorize them to make it easy for you to find the events you're interested in, such as sports & athletics, live music, creative events, workshops, community happenings, and many more!
We scour anywhere from 20-40 different sources, scroll social media, and hit up our connections around town to make sure we have a comprehensive list. Each post takes ~4-6 hours of searching different platforms.
You're in luck! Our LampPost cohorts are the perfect solution for anyone looking to get more involved or meet great new people. These groups are designed to build a more personal & intimate connection with a small group of people. The group remains the same over the span of three months with bi-weekly events based on the group's interests.
We also host regular meetups that are open to all, so if Cohorts don't work for you, keep an eye out for these monthly LampPost events!
We'd love to get your event on our platform. Posting is 100% free and gets your event listed on our website, newsletter, and events calendar -that's thousands of extra eyeballs!

Yes! We host regular meet-ups and events of our own, which bring together our awesome group of subscribers for all sorts of wholesome events - beach days, offline cafes, scavenger hunts, and more! All ages are welcome, and they're a great way to meet likeminded people.

While it's true we don't offer the size of audience available from larger advertising platforms, what we do offer is a much more valuable & engaged audience. Fewer but more active eyeballs often drive better results, and that's the case with advertising on LampPost - our 1-4% ad engagement easily beats larger platforms with less than 1% average engagement on ads.
There's also a lot of work that goes into doing ads right on Meta & Google. Targeting the right audience for your brand, finding long-tail, low competition keywords - this all takes a lot of work. With LampPost, advertising takes 5 minutes and you can be sure about the audience that will see it.
