Event FAQ

How to log in and sign up for an event:

1. Log in to your Rest Less Events account at events.restless.co.uk/accounts/login/

2. Visit the event calendar by clicking where it says 'Event Calendar' at the top of the page

3. Find an event you would like to sign up for and click on it to visit the event page

4. Click 'Register Now' which will be a purple button on the right hand side of the page.

You should be taken to a new page which says your booking is now complete, and you will shortly receive an email with the booking information.

How can I sign up for or access a recording?

Simply book an event as normal (as if you are attending the live Zoom event). Don't worry if you can't make it, after the event ends you will automatically receive the recording in your post-event email as long as the event was recorded. There is no separate booking process for recordings only.

Something’s come up and I can’t attend the event! How do I cancel my place?

To cancel an event booking, please visit the My Account area of our website (by clicking your name when logged in at the top right corner of the page). Here you will see all your upcoming events listed and can easily cancel any of them. However, most of our events are recorded so even if you can't attend the live session we recommend staying registered for the event and you will receive a link for a 7 day replay that you can watch at a time that is convenient for you!

I have an event suggestion - where can I share it with the team?

Please fill in this form with any events suggestions, keeping it to one idea per submission.

I am partially sighted or blind - can I join Zoom events on Rest Less Events?

We aim for events to be as accessible as possible. Speakers use slides as aids and describe images being shown on the screen; we aim for talks to work as audio-only as well as being watched. Our fitness and dance instructors also try to ensure they describe their movements clearly. Community events are all chat focused so open to all.

We use the chat area as an option for Question and Answers sessions but participants are also invited to unmute if they raise a hand. To raise a hand, you can use the keyboard shortcut alt + Y (Windows) or option + Y (on a Mac). To unmute, the shortcut is alt + A (Windows) Command(⌘)+Shift+A (macOS). For more Zoom controls, click here to open this Zoom article.

We are always open to receiving feedback on whether you felt able to fully participate or not in any of our events: please send us an email at [email protected]. Please contact us ahead of events you want to join if you have any specific questions regarding accessibility.

I’ve booked for a series of events. Do I use the same link for all the talks?

All of our events must be individually booked, even if part of a series. Make sure you register individually for every week and have received a confirmation email for each of the dates. You can check your upcoming bookings in the My Account area of our website.

How can I access event resources?

Occasionally our events have supplementary resources which can be downloaded from our website. To access these, you must first book the event, and then on the event page when you scroll town to the 'Resources' heading, you will be able to see and download any relevant resources.

How are my reviews used?

We hugely appreciate all the reviews left after events. We read all the reviews and pass on the feedback to hosts who find it incredibly helpful too. The rating you give each event (from Excellent to Very Poor) are used to give an average star rating from each event. If you rate an event 'Very Poor' or 'Average' because you haven't attended the event, then it affects the host's average rating.

Please avoid rating an event poorly if you have experienced technical issues or problems with Zoom, as this affects the hosts overall rating. Instead, email us at [email protected] and we will do our best to help solve the technical error you have experienced.



Payment FAQ

How to upgrade to our Premium membership

You can upgrade your Rest Less Events account to our Premium subscription by visiting 'My Membership', and going through the payment process. If you have successfully upgraded you should receive an email confirming this change to your account.

How to downgrade to our Free membership

I need to update my payment details

Alternatively once your payment fails or you cancel your membership and reach the end of the billing cycle for that month you can re-upgrade and re-enter your card details. We always recommend getting in touch at [email protected] if you are unsure or have any trouble with this.

Zoom FAQs

I can't hear anything in the Zoom events

If you get no sound in our live Zoom events, it is generally because you have not successfully connected to audio. When you first launch the Zoom meeting, you should get a pop up asking you to Join Computer Audio. Alternatively, there should be a symbol of headphones with a small green upwards arrow which is labeled Join Audio - click this button to join.

How can I access the chat box in Zoom?

It's always lovely when people use the chat function to let us know where they are watching from at the beginning of our events. It's also great to know how to access this if you have any questions or are experiencing technical issues during the event. There is usually a speech bubble symbol to indicate the chat, which you must click to open the chat box, however this can be in different places depending on your device.
