Venue: what each field is for

This page lists every field of the form for a venue, in the order the form shows them, what each field takes and what it is for. A field marked as mandatory is needed before the entry can go live; every other field is optional, and a field you leave empty is simply not shown on the page. You can save a draft at any time and come back to it.
