Hi all!
In the UK they called it “Freedom Day” and we shook our heads. ;-) But nobody can deny that we also look forward to 22 October when all restrictions will be lifted. (Obviously (!?) apart form the restrictions that will not get lifted. :-D )
|
|
|
|
Events will be back! Yay! Live music will be back! Yay! Dancing at weddings will be back! Yay! Going to restaurants and pubs without any certs will be back! Yay! But the going back to offices?? The opinion is very much divided! Some can’t wait, others got very used to the advantages of not having to commute.
So there needs to be some adjustment again to the “new normal” which VERY much will look like the old normal as it seems right now. Some people were hoping that the 18 months break from our old life will have taught us something, but that doesn’t look too probable.
|
 |
|
Speaking of teaching!? Many of us need to learn again!
Since Facebook messed up their Events directory, I will need to learn again how to find live events. :-O
And more about re-learning: On Wednesday I got a Press Release from a well-known events organiser, telling me about a whole range of interesting events in Dublin, but the author forgot to add the start times for nearly all of them. Oops! ;-)
We will get back into the groove again!

If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.
The counter on the left shows the current donation status. By the end of the month EUR 200 will be extracted 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.

Last week the wonderful people that donated were Eimear, Mark, Eimer and Joan. THANK YOU! Your donation has arrived and you are appreciated!!
With the above counter you know at all times where we stand and when donating is needed. Donations keep the Dublin Evnet Guide alive and all donors will also get some additional bonuses. More details will be available soon.
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
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!!

+++ Advance Notice:

+++ Dublin Community Clean-up
From Sat 11 – Sun 19 September, this year’s Dublin Community Clean-up will take place. Dublin’s Four Local Authorities, Clean Coasts, National Spring Clean, Local Authority Waters Programme, Dublin City Canals, Dodder Action, residents, volunteers and community groups are coming together and your help is needed. Find out more and register on dublincommunitycleanup.ie/ In 2019 more than 1500 volunteers got involved. The 2020 event had to be cancelled but for this year it is hoped that at least the 2019 amount of people will be found again.
|
|
+++ CULTURE NIGHT 2021 – Don’t miss it!
Yes, the news is good! Culture Night will take place again this year and while it will be a sort of lockdown-influenced version with a lot of online events because Culture Night is happening 3 days before the key date of 20 Sept. So lots of online events, but there will also definitely be real life events as well. The Real life events have limited spaces though and they will book out super fast. So check out the programme at culturenight.ie/ and book as fast as possible for the 17 September.
If you have never heard of Culture Night then let me tell you that (in normal times) it is the best cultural event of the year. An evening (from 17:00-22:00 or 23:00) when galleries, museums and other cultural venues are open all over Ireland. Dublin was regularly buzzing with events, and people and excitement. It is the 16th year of Culture Night this year and hopefully next year all will be back to the great evening we experienced for 14 years.

|
+++ SCULPTURE IN CONTEXT – National Botanic Gardens
The Sculpture in Context exhibition is taking place again this year in the National Botanic Gardens. It is a great exhibition where sculptures are “planted” in lots of different places in the Botanic Gardens, making the park even more interesting. The exhibition will run from 02 Sept-15 Oct, so there is plenty of time to see it, but put it on your list, otherwise you will leave it to the last weekend (as I have done tooo often in the past ;-) ). www.sculptureincontext.com/ Admission to the National Botanic Gardens is always free and opening hours are 10:00-17:00 every day of the week.
|
|
+++ National Gallery tickets available here
The National Gallery is usually free anyway, but in current times you will have to book tickets to get access and you have to enter the building on the Merrion Street side. Tickets are available here: www.nationalgallery.ie/visit-us/book-your-ticket The National Gallery also is running events again and because the events have limited number of spaces, they can book out relatively fast, at least before I can write about the events, so check out the events 1-2 weeks in advance here www.nationalgallery.ie/whats-on and then book tickets for them.
|
|
+++ Visit Dublin Castle for free
Until the end of 2021, entry to Dublin Castle is free for all visitors. You will be able to visit the State Apartments on a self-guided tour. There are currently no guided tours and therefore the Medieval Undercroft and Chapel Royal are not accessible. Opening hours are Mon-Sun & Bank Holidays: 09:45-17:45 (last admission 17:15). Tickets can be booked at dublincastle.admit-one.eu/?p=calendar&ev=SELFGUIDE for free there will also a limited number of tickets available at the ticket desk.
|
|
+++ 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. And by buying books from Book Depository you will also help the Dublin Event Guide for no additional cost to you. Use this link: shor.by/BookDepository .
|
|
+++ 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 NLP or some Business related “soft skills”? 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 cost for courses this month will be around 12.99. Check out the website at shor.by/GqCk And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)

 |

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