There ain’t no Blue Monday!!
|
|
Here are lots of free events that put a smile on your face
|
|
|
|
Have you heard about Blue Monday? Allegedly it is the most depressing day of the year and it happened last Monday (16 Jan). I didn’t tell you before because there is the possibility that some people will feel depressed just because they know that this day is meant to be a depressing one.
|
|
I am saying “ALLEGEDLY it is the most depressing day” because it seems that the day was completely invented by Sky Travel, a now-closed-down travel channel on TV, who – again seemingly – paid a psychologist from Liverpool to claim that his formula calculated that that Monday was the worst day.
|
|
|
|
Interesting story, isn’t it? So the whole thing about Blue Monday is made up and there is no most depressing day in the year!! At least not a uniform day for everyone.
|
 |
|
Short and cold days usually challenge us more than bright warm summery days. It has to do with light and temperature, but also with our activities: I’d say you are busier and more active in summer than in winter.
|
|
This is where the Dublin Event Guide comes into the picture. On www.DublinEventGuide.com you will find free events for EVERY day of the week. Just go there (click on some of the ads if they are interesting) and find all the free events that will hopefully increase your activities and keep you mentally and physically active and therefore will lift your spirits! And to subscribe for free, you can just signup on the same website on right hand side.

Donations in January:
EUR 241

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 Michael, Miriam, Mary, Last Dino :-), Gabriela, Christina! 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.
|
 |
|
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.)

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! ?

+++ Tradfest Temple Bar
This year’s Tradfest will take place from 25-29 Jan and while the main concerts are all not free, there are the Smithwick’s Sessions, which are gigs in pubs in and around Temple Bar and they are all free. With Stockton’s Wing and Paddey Casey and others, there are well known and long established acts and there are also new and upcoming acts performing. Check the whole schedule at tradfesttemplebar.com/smithwicks-sessions/
Another new feature of the Tradfest is a day of talks about Trad Music on Tuesday 24 Jan. Admission is free there as well and the full programme is here tradfesttemplebar.com/events/talking-trad/
|
|
+++ 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 .
|
|
+++ Dublin Lunar New Year
Once upon a time (until just about 2 years ago), this was the “Dublin Chinese New Year Festival”. But then political correctness got hold of the people behind the festival and seemingly somebody told them that there are other countries as well that use the same calendar (Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, Vietnam, Thailand and Korea are mentioned on the website, oddly Taiwan is not mentioned).
The festival is still MAINLY the Chinese New Year Festival, but to make it less specific the official name is now “Dublin Lunar New Year Festival”.
The year of the Rabbit starts on 22 Jan 2023 and there are a good few events taking place from 18-29 Jan: www.dublinlunarnewyear.ie/events/
|
|
+++ Discover Dublin Docklands App
Dublin City has a new app that allows us to discover iconic Dublin landmarks such as the famine statues, the CHQ building and more.
The app is available to download for free via doorsintodocklands.com/
After you got the app, you can point your phone at the landmarks and this will prompt the related images, videos and stories to pop up.
The app uses Augmented Reality (AR), a mix of 3D graphics, animation and audio, to immerse users in the story of the city.
Several colourful characters from history will also appear in AR to tell their tales. These include Captain Bligh who surveyed Dublin Bay in the 1800s and Maggie Doyle, who was a docker’s daughter.

+++ Chasing the Ball – Football Exhibition
The Italian Institute of Culture in Dublin, with the support of the Embassy of Italy in Ireland are inviting to a football sticker exhibition in Printworks at Dublin Castle, showcasing original material covering the 1990, 1994 and 2002 World Cups.
Ireland and Italy and their football teams will be the focus and you will find a series of albums, stickers, drawings and other original materials.
The exhibition will be on show from 06-22 Jan and admission is free. Opening hours is Monday-Saturday 10:00-17:30.

+++ 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 03-17 Feb (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/

|
+++ 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! :-)

|
+++ Bowie Photograph Exhibition – Bowie Festival
An exhibition of Bowie photographs by Philippe Auliac will be on display from Wed 11 Jan – Sun 29 Jan in Rathfarnham Castle (10:30-16:15). Admission is free (closed Mondays and Tuesdays).
Since first shooting Bowie in 1972, the French photographer has captured the rock icon many times over his long career. Many of these images are now deemed classic portrayals and for this extensive exhibition Philippe will have over 60 photographs on display as well as an audiovisual screening of further images and some rare interviews with the starman. www.dublinbowiefestival.ie/philippe-auliac-23
