Jungle Show, Chester Beatty Library Tours, National Gallery Events, “Plastic” Exhibition<\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hi all!<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t really like that topic! I prefer to gather and write about the great free events that are happening in Dublin. But if you have been on a flight, you have heard the instructions “If there is a loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the overhead area. Please place the mask over your own mouth and nose before assisting others.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes people wonder why they should look after themselves first before looking after their children, but this is clear: If you can’t get any oxygen anymore, you are NO use to your kids. So make sure you survive and then focus on your family.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does that have to do with the Dublin Event Guide? And why do I Not like the topic? Well, the thing is that lately the support for the Dublin Event Guide has dropped drastically. And I don’t like begging, but if I don’t get the required “oxygen”, I am no use to you anymore. So, I better mention it! I need your help!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dublin Event Guide needs to pay bills (for Hosting, Internet Domains and for sending this newsletter every week) and I need your help for that. You can donate directly via<\/span> http:\/\/www.paypal.me\/DublinEventGuide<\/a> or you can help in a way that doesn’t cost you a cent. Yes, this is possible!<\/span><\/p>\n

This is how the support works that doesn’t cost you and it is super easy:<\/span>
\nJust go to<\/span> http:\/\/www.DublinEventGuide.com<\/a> and at the top you will find the sentence “Is this what you were looking for?”. Right below that sentence you should find a rectangular ad. Please click on it!<\/span>
\nThe ad might change every time you open\/refresh the page, so I can’t tell you what it is promoting. And if you don’t see an ad there, please turn your Ad Blocker off and refresh the page and then do the clicking. ;-) Thanks!<\/span>
\nIf you click on the ad, I get between 5 and 30 cent. That is not much, but if enough people help, it will do the job to cover the cost to keep the Dublin Event Guide going.<\/span><\/p>\n

And now we come to some of this weekend’s free events. All events are sorted by start time, but watch out for the few events that have a “++” in front of them, the are particularly recommended. ;-) ALL events in this list are free, but some require booking! The market events that take place every week are only posted on the website at www.dublineventguide.com<\/span>
