Comic Book Mart, Dublin Festival of History, Perfection in Science Gallery, Sculpture in Context, 1920 Garden Fete

 

 

Hi all!

This week I selected 32 events for this Dublin Event Guide. That’s a decent number, isn’t it? There is no absolute headline event among the 32, but I would certainly suggest that you check out the Perfection exhibition in the Science Gallery (today is the second last day of this exhibition) and on sunny Sunday maybe the Sculpture in Context exhibition in the National Botanic Gardens.

Add the Comic Mart on Saturday, a History Talk on Saturday or Sunday and a gig on one of the evenings and you have a vastly diverse culture programme, that some will consider “challenging”. Others, however, will just LOVE the variety. ;-) I am a Culture Nut and enjoy lots of different things. Which of the two options is the one for you?

In the Dublin Event Guide I always make an effort to include a whole range of free events so that everyone can find something and as I explained last week, for as long as you keep supporting the Dublin Event Guide in the way it is described in the next paragraph, I will continue sending you lots of free events. :-)

This is how the support works and it is super easy:
Just go to www.DublinEventGuide.com and click on the rectangular ad that is shown at the very top of the page! If you don’t see an ad there, please turn your Ad Blocker off and refresh the page and then do the clicking. ;-) If you click on the ad, I get between 5 and 30 cent. That is not much, but if enough people helped together, would do the job to cover the cost for sending the Dublin Event Guide. Thanks! Some people have asked me for the Dublin Event Guide PayPal link for direct donations and here it is: www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide

And here are some of this weekend’s free events. All events are sorted by start time, but watch out for the few events that have a “++” in front of them, the are particularly recommended. ;-) ALL events in this list are free, but some require booking!
