Basically - my kid starts school soon and the school have sent a long list of dates to remember (parents evenings, nativity, mufti day etc) - there are loads of dates, and I swear in this instance I’ve managed to add series of events in one go before at work when sent such a thing.

I want to be helpful and somehow be able to get all these events into one file where I can send a link to all the other parents and they can very simply bulk add all events to their calendars (google/outlook I guess) in one click?

What am I describing and how can I do it?

1. Turn the information from the school into a .csv file (with the right column headings etc as set out here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/fo...)
2. Import the CSV file into calendar of choice

Turns out the school had sent an ICS file out already, so I've managed to import that
