Wembley Stadium & Arena calendar generator.

wembley-events

Know when Wembley Stadium events are happening ahead of time. This project generates a calendar file on all the upcoming events at Wembley Stadium.

• Don't get caught out in the traffic.
• Don't struggle with parking.
• Don't waste precious time.

The calendar is updated regularly and is always available to subscribe to/download here: https://mukundbhudia.github.io/wembley-events/wembley-events.ics.

In addition to the calendar, this project can also generate a JSON file containing the events available to download here: https://mukundbhudia.github.io/wembley-events/wembley-events.json.

The wembley-events-web project uses the events generated using this project to provide useful a frontend for the calendar.

GitHub Actions runs this project and uploads the calendar file to GitHub pages on a twice daily basis.

Feel free to subscribe to the calendar using your favourite calendar app. The file output conforms to the iCalendar specification.

History of the Events Disappears

Hey Mukund,

I love this Calendar addon; it is so good and helpful for me, who lives in Wembley.

I appreciate the work you put into this.

Feature I think would be good

This is nice to have, but the history of the events disappears after they occur. Like, If I view last week or the weeks previous, I can no longer see what events happened on those days.

Could we have the ability to see past event, please?

Kind regards,
Kabilan T

No longer only giving Wembley Stadium events?

Hi,

Previously this calendar was only giving Wembley Stadium events, but it now appears to be giving events for a whole range of London venues:

Seems like a bug?

Thanks!

Wire up new source for calendar

The current source for events from Brent council is not web scrap-able easily.

To get updated Wembley events data one idea could be to use SerpAPI Google events API.
This PR will update the project to use SerpAPI as a source of event data.

Generate JSON file of events

Need to generate a JSON file of events stored in the calendar

This will be later used to populate a front-end.

For the .env the variable CALENDAR_JSON_SAVE_PATH can be used to determine whether or not to generate the file.

And example output could be:
