Is your computer set to use the same iCloud as your iPhone?
System prefs > iCloud - Calendar to On.
Calendar is selected (on) in System preferences>iCloud on my computer.
Also, Calendars>Preferences>Accounts>Refresh Calendars: Every minute
In iTunes with my phone connected to the computer i click Sync but nothing..

Calendars don't sync using iTunes.
On your iPhone, Settings > iCloud, Calendar to Off, wait a minute then turn it back on.
Thanks, but i restarted Calendars on my phone but that didn't solve the problem either.
It's Bizarre, if i add an event in Calendars on my iPhone it's Synced with Calendars on my computer and in iCloud, but not visa versa.
Likely because you have a local On My Mac calendar (which does not get sync'd).
On the Mac, System prefs > iCloud and turn off Calendar.
Wait a minute then turn it back on.
It should ask if you want to merge the local calendar with iCloud.
See this -> https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202337
Tried that but it doesn't work. When i turn off and then turn Calendar back on, it doesn't ask me 'if i want to merge Calendars'. It does that when i do the same on the phone.
Don't know if it makes any difference but in iCloud>My Devices only My Mac is on the list. Not my phone.
...okay, i seemed to have had the wrong iCloud password on my phone/ Anyway, fixed that and now seems to be okay except that all Calendar events on my phone (only) have duplicated. How do i fix that?
Thanks for all your help so far..

Settings > iCloud > Calendar to off.
Are there any events left showing on the iPhone?
If not then just turn Calendar back on.
I switched Calendar to off on my phone but nothing changed. All events are still duplicated. Switched Calendar back on and still the same..
Any other solutions?
Cheers
You are using the same AppleID for iCloud on both the Mac and the iPhone?
Okay, i wasn't logged in with the same ID on all devices. Problem solved! 🙂
Thanks for all your help Chris, Cheers
