Questions

Straight answers

Who is CultureConnect for?

Anyone who lives locally and wants to engage with culture, any creative business that sells cultural products or services, and teams who look after places and need a fair picture of what residents support.

What does voting do?

You choose Yes or No once per listing to say whether you think that offering benefits the community. It is not booking or payment — it helps businesses and stewards see where enthusiasm sits.

Can a business pause a listing?

Yes. SMEs can mark a product or service as unavailable so it stays on record but does not accept new votes until they are ready again.
