Hi!!
|
|
Wishing you a great weekend! How do your weekends work? Most of us have some routines or habits that give shape to most of our weekends. What is yours? Did you ever question if this is really the way you want to do your weekend?
|
|
What if your weekends were more than just a break from work? What if they became your personal laboratory for joy, discovery and connection?
|
|
Maybe it’s time to reimagine your Saturday or Sunday, even just a little. Could it be trying a new event, meeting someone new, wandering through a corner of Dublin you’ve never explored or simply giving yourself permission to slow down?
|
|
|
|
This week’s “Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)” is packed with opportunities to shake up your weekend in the best possible way — all without spending a cent. Dive in and find one thing that makes your weekend a little more YOURS.

Donations in May:
minus EUR 74
|
|
(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.
|
|
|
|
This is the last week of April, but unfortunately this month we are still a good distance away from the monthly required EUR 200 to pay the bills. So we will start May in the red with MINUS 74 Euro.
|
|
Thanks to Michelle and Corina who were the wonderful people donating to the Dublin Event Guide last week. Thanks a lot. Your contribution is much appreciated.
|
|
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.
|
|
I will provide my time and free-event-sniffer-nose for free week after week (even when on holidays!) but I need you to help with the other bills. 200 Euro per month is not really a lot, I think. Without it, the Dublin Event Guide can’t survive. Thanks for 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.
|
 |
|
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 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.
|
|
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!!

Please note: To speed up the creation of the weekday section of the Dublin Event Guide, I am experimenting with a few minor changes. One is that I am not adding the full address of the venue to all events anymore (for now). If you don’t know where the venue is, you will find it by checking the event link.

+++ Very sad news from D-Light Studios
D-Light Studios (46 North Great Clarence Street, Dublin 1) was a brilliant and vibrant Arts & Community Space in the North Inner City. Founded in 2008 and made possible with a huge amount of hard work by the people involved, D-Light Studios ran many innovative cultural events over the years and had even bigger plans and a massive potential to be a long term contributor to Dublin’s cultural life. But Dublin City didn’t want any of that. After years of negotiations, DCC suddenly forcibly entered the studios in March, changed the locks and threw the great D-Light Studios team around founder Agata Stoinska out. Watch this great video about D-Light Studios youtu.be/hVvwPlfEhmo
Dublin City Council really seems to have lost interest in cultural Dublin in the last few years. Independent cultural organisations should be supported wherever possible to maintain a rich and varied cultural life, but instead they are hindered wherever possible.
|
|
+++ Dublin City Council Culture Company
Every week, the Dublin City Council Culture Company organises cultural events in venues in Dublin. They are events in addition to the normal events in museums, galleries and other venues. All events are free, but access is by registration only. And these events are POPULAR!! So when I get to checking them out on the Friday before they take place, the most interesting ones are usually already booked out. If you are interested, check them out here cultureclubdublin.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows (This week you only see a few, because every month a new batch is uploaded not in a rolling way, but in a month by month way.)
|
|
+++ 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 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!
The 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! – Check out the website at www.getthislink.com/Udemy22 And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)
|
|
+++ IKEA Crafting / Music / Cooking Workshops
Ikea in Ballymun runs a variety of crafting, music and cooking workshops it is always worh checking out. The workshops are free and usually go for 45 minutes. They are always for children, but the age is often not fixed. There are specific Toddler and baby workshops at times as well. Check them out on www.ikea.com/ie/en/stores/events/ikea-ballymun/
