 * Is there a way, in functions.php or otherwise for me to change the format the
   dates show in the widget?
 * It shows as – 18/May: test event
    I’d like it to be May 18th 2014: test event
 * I am using a Google Feed.
 * Thanks, very nice plugin btw!

 * I think you want this line

 * Change the format string from ‘j/M’ to ‘F jS Y’ and it should work.

 * That worked, though if the widget is updated by you at some point will I not 
   lose the changes?

 * I’ve added an option to the widget to specify the date format. By default it 
   will remain ‘j/M’ but you can change it to whatever you like.
