To delete your account, go to your Account settings page and select "Delete Account". This will permanently remove your account, saved events, and preferences. This action cannot be undone.

Your email address is linked to your sign-in method (e.g. your Google account). To use a different email, sign out and sign in with a different Google account. Note this creates a new account.

discovernearme links to official ticketing pages where available, but does not sell tickets directly. Clicking "Get Tickets" or "Book Now" will take you to the event organiser or ticketing platform.

Yes. Use the price filter on the events search page to show only free events, paid events, or all events. You can also combine this with other filters such as category, date, and location.

Event alerts email you a digest of new events matching your criteria. You can set up alerts for specific categories within a location and radius, and narrow them with filters such as free, family-friendly, dog-friendly, indoor, or accessible events.

Go to the Alerts section from your account menu and click "Create Alert". Choose your categories, location and radius, any filters, and how often you want the digest — weekly or monthly — then save. You will receive matching events by email on that schedule.

You choose the frequency when you create the alert: a weekly digest (delivered each Monday) or a monthly digest (delivered on the 1st). Each email groups the new matching events for that period into a single digest, so we never flood your inbox.

You can delete an alert from your Alerts page in your account. Alternatively, each alert email contains an unsubscribe link that removes the specific alert. You can also unsubscribe from all alerts in your account settings.
