Do all child pages have a filled in venue field? If not, then you won’t get a page object and consequently, calling the method on a non existing page will result in the error you get.

To avoid that, you would have to wrap the code in an if statement:

<?php 
foreach($page->children() as $child):
    if($child->venue()->isNotEmpty()):
        $venue = $child->venue();
        $venuePage = page($venue); 
        e($venuePage, $venuePage->contact(), '');
     endif;
 endforeach;
?>

Hi @texnixe, would it be possible to extend this and have a sub field per option? Something like…

venue:
  label: Venue
  type: select
  options: query
  query:
    page: venue
    fetch: children
    value: '{{uri}}'
    text: '{{title}}: {{number}}'
       ext_url:
          type: url
          label: Enter URL

No, that’s not possible. Why would you want to have this possibility? Shouldn’t the URL be part of the venue page?
