Method & licences
Frontrow uses the following public or open datasets in pages that help people plan a venue visit. Storage is not permission: every row below is included because the source terms have been checked for commercial reuse and transformation.
| Dataset | Licence | Commercial use | Derivatives |
|---|---|---|---|
| MET Norway Locationforecast and SunriseLocal-day forecasts and solar times on venue and visit pages. Frontrow selects hourly samples, rounds temperatures, converts wind to mph and derives clothing suggestions. Forecast issue times and linked source credits remain visible. | Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 | Yes | Yes |
| DfT National Public Transport Access Nodes (NaPTAN)Nearest public-transport access points and straight-line distances on matched venue pages. Frontrow does not turn these into route, service-status or step-free-access claims. | Open Government Licence v3.0 | Yes | Yes |
| Food Standards Agency food hygiene rating dataDated official inspection results near a venue. Frontrow uses the data, not the protected FSA/FHRS imagery or logo, and does not present the results as recommendations. | Open Government Licence v3.0 | Yes | Yes |
| Overture Maps PlacesPostal addresses matched conservatively to existing venue identities from release 2026-07-22.0. Frontrow keeps the source record and match evidence and asks visitors to confirm with the venue. | Places source licencesCDLA Permissive 2.0, Apache 2.0 and CC0 | Yes | Yes |
| Companies House Free Company Data ProductRegistered-company evidence on existing venue pages, from the 1 August 2026 snapshot. Frontrow publishes only reviewed name plus exact registered-office/venue postcode matches; no PSC, officer or other personal fields are used, and a match is not an ownership, operator or parent-company claim. | Open Government Licence v3.0 for Crown copyright material | Yes | Yes |
Attribution and modifications
NaPTAN and food-hygiene content contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Frontrow selects nearby records and calculates straight-line distances; it does not alter the official source values.
Address matches contain information from Overture Maps Foundation Places, release 2026-07-22.0, modified by Frontrow through conservative venue matching. Overture's Places attribution and licence notices identify the component sources and terms.
Company matches contain public register information from the Companies House Free Company Data Product, snapshot 1 August 2026. Frontrow selected records by exact registered-office/venue postcode, arts or culture SIC code and reviewed name evidence. Companies House Crown copyright guidance applies. The match register records the published, unmatched and unchecked coverage separately.
Venue visit guides
The 119 visit guides combine reviewed venue addresses, maps, nearby restaurants and bars, and public transport. Food records use the 24 August 2026 FSA snapshot with individual newer records dated separately; address snapshots retain their original July–September dates. Transport uses active stops from the 29 August 2026 NaPTAN snapshot. No opening hours or parking availability are inferred.
Maps credit OpenStreetMap contributors. Postcodes.io supplies postcode centre locations, which are labelled approximate and omitted from precise venue coordinates in structured data. Addresses are factual extracts from linked venue websites or reviewed public premises records. 11 venues still lack enough verified detail for a separate guide.
Venue-published schedules
Performance listings come from public box-office endpoints published by venues through Spektrix. They are Frontrow's core source, but they are not government or open datasets and Frontrow does not claim an open-data licence for them. Each schedule publishes its source-read time and links to the venue's own booking page.
Licensed supplier prices
The ticket prices page distinguishes venue-supplied performance prices from dated supplier observations. Prices do not establish current seat availability. Commercial feeds are not open data and are never offered as raw downloads.
Unified R2 review and commercial boundary
The unified importer also holds complete GLEIF legal-entity, UK sanctions and UN sanctions snapshots, but Frontrow does not publish them: none has a stable, exact identifier join to these venue records, and fuzzy name matching would create unsafe claims. The Companies House PSC product stays private because it contains personal information. Grants.gov is a US federal opportunity feed and is not relevant to this UK venue journey. The OFAC import failed at its upstream edge and is marked failed, not silently filled.
Commercial material is used only within the source's publication permission. Dated price observations from See Tickets UK and Theatre Tickets Direct may be shown under the recorded Awin publisher-use permission, alongside corresponding affiliate links. Supplier observations are not assigned to a performance from a title-only match. The separate partner event section uses selected Sports Events 365 and Gigsberg ticket facts with seller, currency, source-date and resale disclosures. Raw feeds and review text are not republished.
Not republished as data
Met Office and National Rail are outbound planning links only. Frontrow does not republish their datasets. All other affiliate, accommodation, customer and operational holdings remain private and are not exposed in public output. Current coverage and source-read times are reported on the coverage and freshness page.
This page is a source and permissions register, not a downloadable Frontrow dataset. It therefore carries no Dataset structured data.
