Parks & green spaces, booked online.
An outdoor space booking system for everything that happens in your parks — one-off events on the recreation ground, regular activities such as boot camps, dog training and walking groups, and casual hire of a green, bandstand or pavilion. It is booking software for outdoor activities that residents can actually use.
- Events in parks — fetes, fairs, fun days and outdoor cinema
- Regular activities — boot camps, dog training and walking groups
- Casual hire of a green, bandstand or pavilion
- Capacity limits and conflict checks built in
A market stall booking system for your traders.
Set up the weekly market once and let regular traders hold the same numbered pitch every week, while casual traders book any pitch that is free. Allocate pitches at a glance, and invoice regular and casual traders without raising each one by hand.
- Recurring weekly stall bookings for regular traders
- Allocate numbered pitches and see what's free at a glance
- Take casual one-off stall bookings alongside the regulars
- Invoice regular and casual traders from the same system
Promotional & town-centre spaces.
Open up your town-centre promotional pitches and gazebo spots so charities and local businesses can book them online. LemonBooking shows the dates each space is available, applies your own pricing, and routes the booking to a clerk for approval where you need it.
- Book out town-centre promo pitches and gazebo spots
- Open to charities and local businesses, with your rules

Invoicing & payments built in.

- Auto-send an invoice with a payment link the moment you approve

Customer review from Trustpilot
“We run a busy Town Hall with three rooms and over two hundred customers. Lemon booking has all the function we need for web site, bookings and invoicing (it can handle payments as well but we do that on Quickbooks). The support is fantastic. We were already using another good booking system but Lemon had so many useful additional functions and was cheaper.”
