Creating your first experience
Start with something you’d genuinely want to do.
GuestsHow joining works: from ‘interested’ to ‘you’re in’
Wello isn’t tickets and turnstiles, a real person opens the door. Here’s the whole journey, from tapping a room to walking in.
GuestsYour first one: what to actually expect
You don’t have to walk in trying to make friends. Turn up for the thing, and see what happens.
MoneyWhat to charge (and why free is fine)
Pricing isn’t a formula. Start with what you’re creating, what it costs you, and what someone is actually getting from it.
MoneyHosting income & HMRC: the £1,000 rule
Getting paid to host is real income, but for most casual hosts, the tax answer is simpler (and kinder) than you'd expect.
MoneyWhen plans change: cancelling, refunds and no-shows
What happens to the money, whichever side cancels, and why telling people early matters more than the policy you picked.
SafetyMeeting new people, safely
Wello is built so both sides of the door can meet with confidence. You always know who you’re letting in, and who’s letting you in.
SafetyHosting safely: who comes through your door
You decide who joins, what they can see, and when. Here’s every control you have, before, during and after.
ProtectionPublic liability insurance, in plain English
Nobody plans for a guest tripping over a speaker cable. Insurance is how a bad five seconds stays a story instead of a bill.
FoodFood at your events: when the council wants to know
Cooking for people you've never met is the heart of a supper club, and UK food law has a view on it that's easier to satisfy than you'd think.
DrinksAlcohol & the £21 form: TENs explained
Whether your event needs a licence comes down to one question: is alcohol being sold? Here's the map.
ScreeningsFilm nights: what a screening legally needs
A private cinema room or a projector on a wall makes a brilliant event, and film is the one area where most hosts don't know the rules exist.
CultureThe unwritten rules (written down)
Ratings run both ways on Wello. Here's what the best hosts and the best guests actually do.
