The Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Cultural Events on Eventbrite

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This study explores the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of cultural life by investigating the dynamics of cultural events in Greater London. We leverage over 50,000 data points retrieved from Eventbrite to analyse the distribution of events at a highly granular level. The events show a clear centre-periphery pattern with higher density on weekday evenings and weekends and a strong categorical variation, visualised through hourly and daily heatmaps. This uneven distribution shapes the participation opportunities of citizens for urban cultural events, calling for more research into the contextual factors that influence event creation and participation patterns in the cultural sector.
