Dublin Event Guide 786: Christmas Markets are ON – Richmond Barracks Christmas Fair, St. Enda’s Park Christmas Craft Fair, Swords Castle Christmas Market, Dandelion Christmas Market

Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)

Christmas Markets are ON

Richmond Barracks Christmas Fair, St. Enda’s Park Christmas Craft Fair, Swords Castle Christmas Market, Dandelion Christmas Market

Happy Saturday!!! :-)

Christmas is firmly on its way. This Sunday is the first of Advent, so in just 4 weeks we will have arrived at what is probably the most important festival of the year (for people in countries that are predominantly influenced by Christianity).

Christmas Trees are being sold, Christmas FM is launching on Monday at 12:00 (christmasfm.com/ or on 105.2 FM) and the Late Late Toy Show took place last night.

(If you didn’t grow up in Ireland, that Late Late Toy Show reference will mean nothing to you, but if you grew up in Ireland, it is probably one of the most memorable things of Christmas.)

So Christmas is definitely approaching. Regrettably all tickets to the “Christmas at the Castle” Christmas Market at Dublin Castle are “sold out” and the fact that tickets are even required will puzzle most Christmas market fans (Tourism organisations, authorities and venues in Dublin still struggle with the concept of how a Christmas market should operate!) but there are other Christmas Markets in Dublin and I will list as many as possible here in the Dublin Event Guide. (BTW: IF any tickets for “Christmas at the Castle” will be returned, then they will be released at 13:00 on Fri 02 December. IF!!)

I am also working on a separate website that I provide for the last few years (minus the lockdown years) that is focused just on Christmas Markets in Dublin. The site is not fully updated, but you can already check it out at www.DublinChristmasMarkets.com

Donations in November: 
EUR 221

(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 Marcella, Anindya and Jana! 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!!

And there is more…

+++ Illuminated Christmas Walks – Marlay Park & Cabinteely Park
Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown are inviting young and old to their Illuminated Christmas Walking Trails. The Trails are open from 16:00-20:00 every Monday to Friday from Monday 28 November. Admission is free.

+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES
Check out the UDEMY course prices for Black Friday! Many courses are available for just EUR 9.99. This is the time to get the courses you want to learn! ;-) 
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! :-)

+++ Dublin Dance Festival Digital 2022 

From 17-30 November, the Dublin Dance Festival Digital will screen four films from world-class dance artists online. To watch the films you need to book a free seat on the DDF website at www.dublindancefestival.ie/events/extended/

+++ Dublin Art Book Fair 2022: A Caring Matter

In addition to a big book fair, there will be Talks, Open Studios, Book Launches and discussions. Find all events at www.templebargallery.com/exhibitions/dublin-art-book-fair-2022

+++ The Moving Crib – Back on Display 

The Moving Crib at the Saint Martin Apostolate in 42 Parnell Square West, Dublin 1 is on display for the 66th year from 24 November until 08 January from 11:00-17:30 every day.

(Closed: Christmas Day, St Stephen’s Day & New Year’s Day. Early closing on Christmas Eve & New Year’s Day at 15:00).

The Moving Crib is a huge installation in the basement of the St Martin Apostolate building that shows a range of crib & bible scenes with moving figures in each scene.

November might still be a bit early, but closer to Christmas, it is a nice destination with your little ones to discover the stories in the display together (as long as the bible is relevant in your or their lives). Admission is free and booking is not required. www.stmartin.ie/crib/

+++ 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

+++ Housing Unlocked Exhibition
The “Housing Unlocked” exhibition is described as a celebration of innovation, optimism and imagination. Eight architect-led proposals will be presented that are intended to unlock the housing potential in our villages, towns and cities.
Housing Unlocked is a partnership between the Irish Architecture Foundation and The Housing Agency.
The exhibition will be open from 14 Oct-18 Dec and from 02-21 Jan (Tues-Fri: 12:00-17:00, Sat: 14:00-17:00). It will take place in the former Science Gallery in Pearse Street (Naughton Institute of TCD). Admission is free. housingunlocked.ie/

+++ Trinity College Talks/Lectures/Seminars
Trinity College is offering really interesting talks and LOTS of them. There are so many that I can’t include them all, so please check out www.tcd.ie/news_events/events/ and if you check before Monday, then click on “NEXT WEEK” towards the top to see all the events that take place next week.Most, but not all talks from the Trinity Long Room Hub are in that list, but often you find more here www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub/whats-on/upcoming.php

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

Take care,
