About this plugin
Vieww Events Calendar is a WordPress events calendar plugin for venues, community groups, churches, schools and small businesses. Show upcoming events in a card grid, a filterable list or a full month calendar — with recurring events, an interactive events map and full design controls built in.
Pick from three views — a card grid for what’s coming up, a filterable list with date ranges, or a full month calendar visitors can click through. On phones, visitors get tap-to-open event cards and a quick toggle between calendar and list, so they don’t lose their place.
Venue maps are included and work the day you install: they run on OpenStreetMap, so there’s no Google account to create, no API key to paste in, and no billing setup. Start typing a venue address and it completes itself — the pin lands on the map for you.

What your visitors get:
- A polished calendar that matches your brand
- Three views to choose from — grid, list, or month calendar — and you can mix them across different pages
- Tap-to-open event cards on mobile so they don’t have to leave the page to see the details
- A built-in events map so they can see at a glance where things are happening
- Add-to-calendar links — Google Calendar plus a downloadable file for Apple, Outlook and others
What you get:
- Add events in under a minute — title, date, time, venue, description, done
- Recurring events — set an event to repeat on the days you choose
- Pick your own colours, fonts and spacing from a single design panel
- Dark mode — off, auto (follows the visitor’s system preference), or always on
- Address autocomplete — start typing a venue and pick from suggestions; the location pin and details fill in for you
- One-click cache control whenever you need a fresh copy of your event list
Shortcodes you can drop into any page or layout:
- [vieww_calendar_view] — the interactive month calendar
- [vieww_list] — a filterable list with date-range and pagination
- [vieww_calendar] — a 3-column grid of upcoming events
- [vieww_events_map] — a map of upcoming events with clustering
