Parks & parks, 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 rental of a green, bandshell or shelter. It is booking software for outdoor activities that residents can actually use.

- Regular activities — boot camps, dog training and walking groups
- Casual rental of a green, bandshell or shelter
- Capacity limits and conflict checks built in
A vendor booth booking system for your traders.
Set up the weekly market once and let regular traders hold the same numbered booth every week, while casual vendors book any booth that is free. Allocate ball fields at a glance, and invoice regular and casual traders without raising each one by hand.

- Allocate numbered vendor booths 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

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.”
Frequently asked questions
Anything we haven't covered, drop us a line.
Can we take bookings for parks and parks?
Yes — let residents and organizers book events in your parks, regular activities such as boot camps, dog training and walking groups, or casual use of a green, bandshell or shelter. Each space gets its own calendar, pricing and booking form, with conflict checks built in.
Can we handle recurring market-stall bookings and invoice traders?
Yes — set up the weekly market once, allocate numbered booths to regular vendors and take casual stall bookings alongside them. Generate a month of trader invoices in a single bulk run rather than raising each one by hand.
Can we book out promotional and town-centre spaces?
Yes — let non-profits and businesses book town-centre promotional booths and gazebo spots online, with your own approval rules, available dates and pricing for each space.
Is it actually used by departments?
Yes. The same system runs reservations for halls, sports facilities, parks, shelters and vendor booths, so one department can hold the whole inventory in one calendar. Every connection is encrypted, the platform is Cyber Essentials certified and independently penetration tested, and access is role based with a full audit log.

Can we take market and outdoor bookings from a phone?
Yes — LemonBooking runs in any web browser, so you can allocate stall ball fields, check the market or approve an event booking from a phone or tablet out on site, not just at a desk. There's no native app to install or update; just bookmark the login in your mobile browser and it's ready whenever you're walking the ball fields.
