Microdata Markup

At the moment there’s no support for that out-of-the-box, but you could create a custom template.

You mean it needs a custom template, i doubt i could create one ??

there’s nothing stopping you from adding the microdata markup to your formats though.

Could you give an example so i can use that to try what you suggest?
Do you mean in say Default event list format

{has_location}<br/><i><span itemprop="name">#_LOCATIONNAME</span>, <span itemprop="name">#_LOCATIONTOWN</span> #_LOCATIONSTATE</i>{/has_location}

Found this helped.
Now working
https://schema-creator.org/event.php

Not sure on dates that span more than one day as i can’t use #_EVENTDATES as that lists as start date but shows the full date start and finish

Set as so

<div itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Event">
<div itemprop="name"><strong>#_EVENTNAME</strong></div>
<div><meta itemprop="startDate" content="#_EVENTDATES #_EVENTTIMES">#_EVENTDATES #_EVENTTIMES</div>
</div>
<div itemprop="location" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/PostalAddress">
<div itemprop="streetAddress">#_LOCATION</div>
<div><span itemprop="addressLocality">#_LOCATIONTOWN</span>, <span itemprop="addressRegion">#_LOCATIONSTATE</span></div></div>

#_EVENTNOTES

For some reason though it is fine on single events, but on my page with Default event list, using [events_list_grouped ]it just will not save the information not sure how i get round this?
