Dublin Event Guide 776: Culture Night coming up! – Eat the Streets Festival, Dublin Mind Body Experience, India Fest, Culture Night

September 17th, 2022

Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)

Culture Night coming up!

Eat the Streets Festival, Dublin Mind Body Experience, India Fest, Culture Night

Good Morning!

Last week I was away and therefore had planned to write a shorter-than-usual Dublin Event Guide, but it wasn’t really much shorter. It was nearly as comprehensive as usual with only a very very small number of events being left out.

This week I am still away, but because this is my second last night here, before I unfortunately will have to fly back, I will have to make this edition of the Dublin Event Guide another bit shorter, in comparison to last week.

Next week all will be back to normal and until then, it is just too nice here to spend more than 10 hours on compiling a Dublin Event Guide. I trust and hope that you are ok with that.

The biggest event in this coming week will be Culture Night on Friday 23 Sept. From 17:00 until 22:00 or 23:00 most cultural venues in Dublin will be open for visitors and many don’t just open for normal visits or tours, but also provide special tours, or readings or concerts.

Some events require pre-booking and many will already be booked out. Others operate a queuing system and you might have to wait a bit, but you know that you will definitely get access. Have a look at www.culturenight.ie to prepare your plans for Friday!!

Ideally you make a plan before you go out, but even if you won’t get around to making a plan, I strongly recommend Culture Night! If I get a chance (and I can’t guarantee it yet), during the coming week, I will send another e-mail with some Culture Night recommendations.

For me, Culture Night is the best cultural event of the year or at least in the Top 5 of cultural events and I can’t stop raving about it! ;-)

Donations in September: 
EUR 243

(By the end of the month, this number has to reach or exceed EUR 200 to guarantee the continuation of the Dublin Event Guide.)

If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.

The counter here shows the current donation status. By the end of the month EUR 200 will be subtracted to pay the bills. If more money has been donated, the rest will be carried forward. If donations have stopped below the EUR 200, the missing amount will be carried over.

The great people that donated last week were Helen, Alan and Ger ! Thank you so much! Your donation will keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and will motivate me to continue week after week. I appreciate you and your support!

With the above counter you know at all times where we stand and when donating is needed. Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and all donors will also get some additional bonuses. The first of those bonuses is described above.

Here are some more details about donations:
Any amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That’s just one Euro per month and you get FOUR Dublin Event Guides for that! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 3. All donations will be used in full for the Dublin Event Guide.

To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: gturl.eu/DEGdonate. It is really easy to use and uses Stripe’s trustworthy payment processing. You can even sign up for a yearly subscription on the donation page! Yearly subscriptions will give some important financial stability and reliability to the Dublin Event Guide and are therefore very much appreciated! (Look for the RED subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)

In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb or now also revolut.me/joergbrb
(If possible, please send your full name and e-mail address as a message with the payment via PayPal or Revolut so that I can tell you about bonuses for donors when available.)

To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG

And there is one other way to help and it is even free: If you come to www.DublinEventGuide.com and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent! ?

Thank you!!

+++ LOW PRICED BOOKS (WITH FREE DELIVERY)
Book Depository is the place where you can buy low priced books, usually for better prices than on Amazon. And Book Depository always delivers for free. By buying books from Book Depository you will also help the Dublin Event Guide for no additional cost to you, so two good reasons in one. Use this link: shor.by/BookDepository
  .

+++ Sculpture in Context – National Botanic Garden
For the 36th time the yearly “Sculpture in Context” exhibition will be in the National Botanic Gardens. 120 artists are showing their work and the bigger pieces are wonderfully integrated in the park. The sculptures will be in the park from 01 Sept to 07 Oct (inclusive). And because admission to the Botanic Gardens is free anyway, visiting this exhibition is free too. sculptureincontext.ie

+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES
Is there ever a wrong time for learning a new skill or enhancing what you are already interested in? Maybe it is a language or an instrument or some technical skills? Or somethign cmpletely different? Nearly every subject is there! Check out Udemy via the link below, they have thousands of courses and there is good chance that what you are looking for is available. Nearly all the courses are REALLY affordable!
The lowest price most of the time is EUR 12.99. Sometimes it even goes doen further to EUR 9.99 and when that happens (about once or twice a year), I will tell you. But even 12.99 is definitely a good price for what you get!

Check out the website at www.getthislink.com/Udemy22 And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)

+++ Little Museum of Dublin – Free Admission
Spomsored by BNY Mellon, the Little Museum in Dublin at 15 St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2 is inviting to a free tour every Wednesday at 10:00. It’s a great museum and definitely worth a visit if you want to find out more about Dublin’s culture and contemporary history. To book your ticket go to littlemuseum.ticketsolve.com/shows/1173601013

And this is it for another week! Have a great weekend and good new week.

Take care,

–Joerg (dublineventguide@gmail.com)
