# Event Visibility

## How to hide your event from public view

If you have activated your event but wish to hide it from your public sales page you can achieve this by setting your event to be hidden from public searches.

To do this:

1. Go to **Events** and select **Modify Event**.
2. Choose the relevant event.
3. In the **Event** column, click the **Pencil Icon**.
4. Scroll down to the **Advanced Settings** option and click to expand.
5. Next to Event visibility, ensure the **Show event in ticket shop and public searches** box is unticked.
6. Click **save changes**.

Your event should now be hidden from our public sales pages and will no longer show on your public-facing homepage. You can still access your event to send an invitation link by using the events unique URL address. This can be accessed by going to Publicise Event under the Events tab in your account and selecting the relevant event from the dropdown list.
