I would recommend doing something as simple as possible. What are the goals
of the website? Just to show the next event?

For the Python Glasgow website[1][2] we use a Google Calendar as a database
and it just pulls the next even it from that. This works well as I can
easily add
events in the calendar and I don't need to worry about making some sort of
back-end system to enter information.

Alternatively, if I were to build it now, I would consider a static
site generator,
then updating the website could be as simple as sending a pull request on
GitHub (I'd set up Travis or similar to deploy the site).
