Approach a place where event is being held? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avenue

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'approach' is the definition.
(both can refer to a road)

'a place where event is being held?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'place' could be 'venue' (I've seen this before) and 'venue' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for avenue that I've seen before include "Way of approach" , "Tee-lined road" , "A line of approach" , "Broad road or street, often with trees" , "Wide (tree-lined) street" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
