Show a message if no events?

Hi there,

I’m using The Events Calendar eventbrite plugins to serve events onto my client’s website, but I’m not sure how to show a message if there are no events, such as “There are no events at this time, please check back later to see if we’ve added any dates.”

I’ve tried a few methods but have had no joy and I can’t see anything in the documentation. Any help or advise would be appreciated:

This is the code that serves up the events:

              <div class="courses-list">

              <?php // Ensure the global $post variable is in scope
                global $post;

                $events = tribe_get_events( [ 
                  'posts_per_page' => 999, 
                  'start_date'     => 'now',
                  'tax_query'=> array(
                      array(
                          'taxonomy' => 'tribe_events_cat',
                          'field' => 'slug',
                          'terms' => 'product-owner-masterclass'
                      )
                  )
               ] );

                // Loop through the events: set up each one as
                // the current post then use template tags to
                // display the title and content
                foreach ( $events as $post ) {
                  setup_postdata( $post );
                ?>

                <div class="course 
                
                <?php $soldout = get_field('sold_out', $post->ID);
                  if ($soldout) : ?> 
                  soldout<?php endif; ?>">

                  <div class="course-details">
                  <?php $multiple_dates = get_field('multiple_dates', $post->ID);
                    if ($multiple_dates) : ?>
                    <span class="date">
                      
                    <?php if (have_rows('course_dates')): ?>

                    <?php while (have_rows('course_dates')): the_row();

                        // vars
                        $date = get_sub_field('event_date');
                        $start = get_sub_field('start_time');
                        $end = get_sub_field('end_time');

                    ?>
