Why am I prompted for my location when I access 'Events' (previously 'Calendar')

[Nathan Explosion]

This is because the developers of the software have decided to be invasive with asking users where they are so that they can show the user events which are near them...even though there are none that are actually configured with a location that would help here.

They say they are going to change it, until then just hit Allow (if you wish) or Block (if you wish)
