Good evening Callum and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!
Thank you for your interest in our products. It’s truly appreciated.
However, please note that we do not offer support for our free plugin in this premium add-ons forum.
But, the good news is that you are still welcome to consult this forum to your liking and browse it for solutions, snippets and tutorials.
If you don’t mind, in the future could you please post your support questions here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/the-events-calendar ?
With that in mind, the answer to your question is yes. Both of these things are feasible, but will require a bit of customization.
You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.
As for the text change, you might want to try this snippet in your theme’s functions.php: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/change-the-wording-of-any-bit-of-text-or-string/
Best regards,
Geoff B.
