An easier way to manage your venue bookings
Most community venues run on a patchwork of tools: a booking spreadsheet someone updates by hand, an ageing website nobody wants to touch, a separate invoicing tool, a card reader that doesn't talk to anything else, and volunteers working hard to keep it all together.
LemonBooking consolidates all this into one easy-to-use system.
Everything you need in one place
- Bookings — one-off hires, recurring bookings (yoga groups, dance, sports) and member-rate hires from a live calendar.
- Automatic invoicing — invoices and credit notes generated from bookings, with the right VAT, codes and references already in place.
- Online payments — hirers pay deposits and invoices online, every payment is linked back to its booking.
- Events and ticketing — tickets for fundraisers, performances and one-off events, with capacity limits and discount codes.
- Website — public website with a what's-on calendar, contact form and news pages, editable by you, no developer required.
Who is it for?
- For trustees and treasurers — automated billing, clear reports, audit logs and fewer bookkeeping tasks.
- For hall managers and bookings clerks — live calendar, booking forms, automation rules and reusable templates that handle repeat bookings, confirmations and overdue chasing for you.
- For accountants with community-sector clients — every booking invoice into Xero correctly first time, with no manual corrections needed.

LemonBooking + Xero
How LemonBooking works with Xero. Connect once via OAuth, map your billing codes, tax rates and tracking categories, and the two systems stay in sync from then on.
- Invoices, credit notes and contacts — flow from LemonBooking to Xero automatically, with the right account, VAT rate and tracking category already applied.
- Reconciled payments — flow back from Xero to LemonBooking, marking the matching bookings as paid.
- Setup is a one-off — no API keys, no copy-pasting tokens, no maintenance once it's running.

Transformed our work
Lemon booking has transformed the way we worked as a leisure centre. Easy to use and manages all aspects (memberships, bookings, events, discounts etc) and more. Its connectivity to key apps such as Xero, Nuki Locks and others has made it central to all we do. Highly recommend

Great booking system
We have been using LemonBooking for our community hall for the past 3 years and can thoroughly recommend them. There have been a few glitches over that time but the team behind the service are excellent and aim to resolve any issue within hours. Top service.
