Display several previous months and next months

[Marine LB]

Hi, I’m considering adding The Events Calendar to a website. Bu I wanted to know if it would be possible to do what I need to do.
(I’m okay with customizing as I have PHP, HTML and CSS knowledge.)

Basically, on my events archive page, I need to display the links of several previous and next month, in a slider, so it should go back until there is an event to show. Kind of link an horizontal timeline.
Let’s say we’re in January 2017, it should look like this :

< December (2016) January (17) February (17) March (17) April (17) >

Is it possible to query several previous months, until the first event ? Same for next month.
