Does anyone know of a way to archive old civi events? We're starting to build up quite a number and being able to archive some so that the current or at least relatively recent events were all that showed in our events list would be great.
Thanks

I recommend to "separate" past events by creating a new/additional category for them, named i.e. "archived".
In backend events management, you only see present and upcoming events (default). In frontend-calendars, you can exclude past events from being displayed or exclude categories ("archived"). In the frontend list-views, only present and upcoming events are displaying.
Further advantage of a using a category: you can create a CiviRule to automatically assign/unassign the respective categories once the event is x days/hours/months in the past.
I think you should find that all events archive themselves, provided that you have either entered an end date in each instance, or that each has been marked as disabled. You can find the controls in /civicrm/events/manage events. Hope this helps.
