About this section
How we cover things to do
We do not publish a calendar that goes stale. Instead, this section explains the rhythms of the year, tells you where the official dates live, and gives you the background for the places people visit most, like the Rock and the star.
Every guide lists the sources we checked and the month we checked them. When facts conflict, we say so instead of picking a side. If you spot something out of date, tell us through the contact page and we will look at it.
