Hello, I am considering updating our website from EE3 to EE4, but we have done some custom coding to create a sidebar of events on our location pages specific to those venues. How might I acheieve a similar result with EE4 or would it be better to just stay with EE3?

Hi there,
EE4 events are a custom post type so you can use ‘normal’ wp queries to pull events in and display them if you are comfortable doing so. We do have custom tables for additional information you’ll likely need, so we recommend using our model system.
EE4 uses a model system that also allows you to pull all data you need fairly easily and the models take care of joining the custom tables etc, an example of using that for an event list can be found here:
https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/6e33532c37a123bbf532
The specifics on what you need to do will vary but you get a general idea above and we have some documentation on using the models here:
https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core/tree/master/docs/G–Model-System
However, EE4 works very differently to EE3, have you tested EE4 to see what customizations you may need?
