No double bookings.

Avoid double bookings & keep everyone in the loop. Customers, volunteers & staff all see the same info — with print options for caretakers/cleaners.

Booking clashes caught.
Two groups can't book the same hall, kitchen or car park at once — and the system will suggest alternatives for them instead.
Self-service for customers.
Customers check availability and request a slot online, any time of day — you approve in a click, or have the system do it automatically.
Recurring bookings, handled.
Set up a weekly class or a monthly meet-up, and your regulars keep their slot — without the hassle of re-booking each time.

Customer reviews from Trustpilot

5 out of 5 stars · customer review on Trustpilot

“After taking over, renovating and reopening a community venue having LemonBooking as our booking and venue management system has been fantastic. LemonBooking has provided a modern online experience for our customers to book spaces as well has providing comprehensive back-office capabilities around billing and invoicing. The system is very customisable and we have been able to completely brand the customer portal to align with our website and ticketing system. Finally, the support from LemonBooking in answering questions and resolving an invoice issue we had has been incredibly quick friendly and efficient. Top tier support.”
