Booking software for pop-up experiences

Sell out sessions wherever you pop up. Card payments, held places and a booking page you can embed, while you run the show.

Workshops, tastings, guided tours, wild swims, saunas, ice baths. Anything that sells by the session.

Free to set up. We take a 5% platform fee on card payments, and that is it.

Everything a pop-up needs, nothing it does not

Built for operators who take bookings in a field, on a beach, in a taproom or by a reservoir, anywhere sessions sell out.

Sessions in bulk

Generate a whole weekend of sessions in one go: session length, capacity, price and the gap between sessions.

Card payments by Stripe

Customers pay at checkout on their phones, and the money goes to your own Stripe account.

Places held while paying

Places are held for 15 minutes while customers pay, then released automatically if they wander off.

Health and safety forms

Ask each attendee for what you need before the session, and see who has not completed theirs at check-in.

Embeds and an API

Drop one script tag into your own site and your booking page appears, or read your events from a JSON API.

A simple dashboard

Takings, upcoming sessions and every booking searchable, from the beach, the bank or the back of the van.

Made for days like these

A workshop under canvas, a plunge tub between sessions, a sauna at the water’s edge. If it books by the session, Pencilled can sell it.
