Zappnin Ltd. is a UK-based technology company building real-time local event discovery tools for people, venues, and organisers. We focus on making it easier to find what’s happening nearby, follow the places you care about, and help local venues reach the communities around them.
Local events are often the things that make a place feel alive, but they can still be surprisingly hard to find. A gig at a small venue, a community celebration, a pop-up market, a quiz night, or a one-off experience can be happening just around the corner and still never reach the people who would have loved it.
We started Zappnin because discovering what’s happening nearby should feel simple, current, and connected to real places. People should be able to open one app and see what is happening around them now, not scroll through old posts, closed groups, or listings that are already out of date.
For venues and organisers, we want Zappnin to become a practical way to reach the people who are most likely to care. Local venues put energy into creating experiences, building communities, and giving people a reason to come out. Zappnin is being built to support that work with clearer publishing, better discovery, and a more direct connection between venues and their audiences.
Our aim is to make local discovery feel alive again: easier for people, more useful for venues, and better for the towns and communities around them.
