Hi!!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Okay, so Valentine’s Day might be behind us, but we’re not quite done with the love fest just yet. If you\u2019re still buzzing from Cupid’s arrow or just want to keep that feel-good energy flowing, then you’re in the right place. This weekend, I’m bringing you all the free events that will make your heart skip a beat\u2014no card or chocolate required! ;-)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

First things first: I love you! Yes, really. It might sound a bit cheesy, but it’s true. You are the reason for the Dublin Event Guide to exist and I\u2019m constantly inspired by your support for this publication. And I am also inspired by your passion for exploring Dublin’s vibrant cultural scene. The best part is that we don\u2019t even have to spend a penny to be part of all these great events. From art talks to gigs, Dublin is ready to shower you with free creative magic this weekend.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Whether you\u2019re spending the weekend with your special someone, your best mates or just giving yourself some much-needed \u201cme time\u201d, I\u2019ve got events for everyone. Want to check out a a craft market on Sunday or play board games? I\u2019ve got it. Need to unwind with some live music or enjoy an educational museum tour? Yep, that\u2019s here too.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

So, no matter how you\u2019re feeling this weekend, no matter if you’re still in full-on Valentine\u2019s mode or you’re just in the mood for a little Dublin love, I\u2019ve got a list of free events that will keep your heart happy. Let\u2019s make this weekend one for the books!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

If you have friends or family or colleagues that also enjoy cultural events in Dublin, let them know that they can sign up for the free weekly Dublin Event Guide newsletter at https:\/\/getthislink.com\/DEGSignup<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

I mentioned it a few weeks ago and I managed to be quite consistent with it: Being a personal development and business coach, I have decided to try something new this year and I am putting short (5min) videos about topics that affect us all, like confidence, self-worth, setting goals, achieving what we are capable of instead of feeling not good enough. If you are interested, you find the videos at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@JoergSteegmueller<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Donations in February:<\/strong>
\nEUR 140<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

(By the end of the month, this number has\u00a0to reach or exceed EUR 200 to guarantee the continuation of the Dublin Event Guide.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Last week the wonderful people that helped with a donation were Annie, Muireann, Brian, Maryam and Rafael. Thanks a lot. Your contribution is much appreciated.<\/p>\n

Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and it is truly a wonderful group of people who help keeping the Dublin Event Guide going. Join this exclusive group! Without donations to pay the bills I will not be able to continue.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Here are some more details about donations:
\nAny amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That\u2019s just one Euro per month and you get FOUR Dublin Event Guides for that Euro! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 4. All donations will be used in full for the Dublin Event Guide.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: https:\/\/gturl.eu\/DEGdonate<\/a>. 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<\/span> subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via http:\/\/www.paypal.me\/DublinEventGuide<\/a> or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb <\/strong>or now also https:\/\/revolut.me\/joergbrb<\/a>
\n(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.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here https:\/\/www.buymeacoffee.com\/DublinEventG<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

And there is one other way to help and it is even free:\u00a0If you come to\u00a0http:\/\/www.DublinEventGuide.com<\/a>\u00a0and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent!\u00a0?<\/p>\n

+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES<\/strong>
\nIs 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 something completely 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!
\nThe lowest price most of the time is EUR 12.99. Sometimes it even goes down 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! –\u00a0Check out the website at https:\/\/www.getthislink.com\/Udemy22<\/a> And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
