Sample Open House single event with venue and details.

Usage

Single Event is the block every event page is built in. New events open with it already in place and it can't be removed, so the event header and details always look consistent. Everything inside it is yours to edit.

Visitors reach this page from Events listing blocks. The block shows the title, dates, venue details, an optional map and ticket links, then whatever blocks you add inside.

Layouts

Choose Layout in the block sidebar. New events start with the Customizer Default Single Template.

  • Sidebar (Customizer default) — event details in a column beside your content
  • Default / Simple — single-column header and body
  • Billboard — large hero header
  • Article — magazine-style layout with optional Header Align (Wide or Default)

Other block settings:

  • Title — text style for the event title (default h3)
  • Show Excerpt — show the event's excerpt in the header
  • Show Time — show start and end times in the header (default on)
  • Background — White or Gray behind the header (default Gray)

Your content

Add paragraphs, photos, columns, embeds, or any Dirigible block inside Single Event. New events start with a placeholder paragraph.

The header fills itself in from the event sidebar (Starts, venue, tickets, map embed), so you don't need to repeat dates or addresses in the body.

What goes where

Starts / Ends Listings, the calendar, and search results

Tips

  • Set the default layout under Customizer → Events → Events Single Template, then change Layout on any event that needs something different.
  • Pair with Event Countdown on a landing page to promote one upcoming date.
