Multi-Event Classes are designed for activities where parents can book multiple dates from a group of available dates.
They work very similarly to PAYG Classes. The main difference is that instead of booking an individual session, parents can select multiple dates as part of the same booking.
This makes Multi-Event Classes ideal for activities such as:
- Summer holiday camps
- Easter holiday camps
- Christmas camps
- Multi-day workshops
- Other activities where several dates are available to book
Multi-Event Class Structure #
Multi-Event Classes follow the structure:
Category → Class → Group → Dates, Times & Locations
Each level controls a different part of how the activity is organised.
1. Category #
A Category is normally used to represent the activity or discipline within your club.
For example:
Gymnastics
Other examples could include:
- Trampolining
- Cheerleading
- Holiday Camps
- Preschool Gymnastics
Classes are then created underneath the relevant Category.
2. Class #
A Class is created underneath the Category.
For example:
Category: Gymnastics
Class: Summer Holiday Camp
The Class represents the type of activity being offered.
3. Group #
Groups are then created underneath the Class.
For Multi-Event Classes, a Group would typically represent a particular camp, course or collection of dates.
For example:
Class: Summer Holiday Camp
Group: August Summer Camp
The Group keeps the related dates together as one bookable activity.
4. Dates, Times & Locations #
The individual dates are then added to the Group.
Unlike a PAYG Class, where parents typically book an individual session, a Multi-Event Class allows parents to select multiple dates from the available dates.
For example:
August Summer Camp
- Monday 3 August — 9:00am–3:00pm
- Tuesday 4 August — 9:00am–3:00pm
- Wednesday 5 August — 9:00am–3:00pm
- Thursday 6 August — 9:00am–3:00pm
- Friday 7 August — 9:00am–3:00pm
A parent could then choose, for example, Monday, Wednesday and Friday when making their booking.
This allows clubs to offer a cluster of related dates without requiring the parent to book every available date.
Example Structure #
A Summer Holiday Camp could therefore be structured as:
Category
Gymnastics
↓
Class
Summer Holiday Camp
↓
Group
August Summer Camp

Available Dates
Monday 3 August
Tuesday 4 August
Wednesday 5 August
Thursday 6 August
Friday 7 August

Parent Booking
Parent selects the dates their child will attend.
When Should You Use a Multi-Event Class? #
Multi-Event Classes are best used when you are offering a collection of related dates and want the parent to choose multiple dates during one booking.
For example, if you are running a five-day Summer Holiday Camp, a parent may only require childcare on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
Instead of making three completely separate bookings, Multi-Event allows them to select the dates they require as part of the same booking journey.
Multi-Event vs PAYG #
Although Multi-Event and PAYG Classes are structured similarly, there is one important difference:
PAYG is designed for booking an individual session.
Multi-Event is designed for selecting multiple dates from a collection of available dates.
A simple way to think about it is:
PAYG → Choose a session
Multi-Event → Choose your dates
