It’s all over!!??
|
|
Tradfest Temple Bar, Farewell to Science Gallery, Dublin Lunar New Year
|
|
|
|
Hi all!
After 680 days of varying levels of restrictions, it seemingly is all over now….at least if the health emergency listens to the Irish government. ;-) Nearly all restrictions are lifted from 06:00 this Saturday morning, as was announced during a government press briefing on Friday evening!
|
|
The fact that nearly all restrictions are gone now is great news and it is definitely time to celebrate.
|
|
|
|
Some might be very surprised about the speed with which all restrictions were lifted, though. In the UK, Boris Johnson did make a similar wide-reaching announcement and there it was called a “publicity stunt”. :-O
|
|
But no matter what it is in Ireland, let’s be happy about this second “freedom day”. (Yes, we had the first one, exactly 3 months ago on 22 October 2021! Remember?)
|
 |
|
While you celebrate and meet friends, please be aware that the new development will leave a fair amount of people totally confused and discombobulated. Especially elderly people (but not only!) who had a mighty fear driven into them over the last 2 years might take some while to overcome the fear and worry and they could probably do with our understanding, help and support.
|
|
For the rest of us, it is time for a re-learning. Re-learning of “socialising”, re-learning of “going out”, of going to events, of dating, of working from an office again. It is amazing how much you can forget in nearly 2 years. ;-)
|
|
For the Dublin Event Guide it means that the number of events will dramatically increase and that you will have a LOT more to do in your spare time. HOPEFULLY, some venues that did start charging admission fees in the last few months will return to free events again and with some luck we will – despite the short preparational period – even have some festivals in the summer. (It already has been announced that there will be a St. Patrick’s Day Parade this year!)
|
|
|
|
Donations in January:
EUR 311
|
|
(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.
|
|
|
|
Last week the wonderful people that helped with a donation were Julie and Juliana! Thank you very much! You are appreciated and your donation is as well!
|
|
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
(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!!

+++ Goal Setting for Success, the Smart Way!
Through my “Inspiring Leadership Academy”, I plan to run a course about Goal Setting very soon if there is enough interest from Dublin Event Guide readers and it will be either free or very low priced. If you want to find out more, just go to inspiringleadershipacademy.com/NewYear/ and fill in your details. No risk or obligation! If enough people are interested, I will put the details together and send them to you and then you can still decide if you want to join or not.

|
+++ Dublin Lunar New Year: Year of the Tiger
It was once called Dublin Chinese New Year, but now has been renamed to Dublin Lunar New Year. Possibly to confuse us all, but more likely because also Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and South Korea celebrate the start of the year based on the Lunar calendar. The next year is the Year of the Tiger and it starts on 01 February. The Dublin Lunar New Year festivities will be online and in-person this year and will run from 28 January to 06 February. The website with full programme of events is at www.dublinlunarnewyear.ie/
|
|
+++ Tradfest Temple Bar
This year’s Tradfest will take place from 26-30 January and will consist of Headline Concerts (not free), the Smithwicks Sessions in pubs (free), a Tradfringe programme (mainly not free, but with some free events) and two Tradkids events in The Ark.tradfesttemplebar.com/events/
A range of gigs from the Smithwicks Sessions are listed in the listings above for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. In total there will be 17 gigs in different venues over these three days this week and you can find them all here tradfesttemplebar.com/events/category/smithwicks-sessions/
The starting times for these events are from 18:00, but it is possible that the organisers will move the starting times now that pubs can stay open longer than 20:00. Some of the paid events are Sold Out, but this undoubtedly based on the low attendee numbers that were allowed until now. With the lifting of the restrictions, I would imagine that the organisers will re-open ticket sales, so if you missed out on any events, keep a close eye on the website and with a bit of luck you will be able to get tickets for some headline events even at this late stage.
|
|
+++ Science Gallery: The last week!
This is the last week of the Science Gallery Dublin and I am really sad about it! The current exhibition will close on 31 Jan and this week the last two events will happen on Wednesday and Thursday. It is a huge mistake to close the museum and the fault lies firmly with the management of Trinity College Dublin. On their website they claim “Trinity remains committed to the global Science Gallery Network, an international idea that originated with Science Gallery Dublin, and intends to consult with members on how best to re-imagine Science Gallery Dublin in the future.” but that sounds more like lip service and a commitment with no action is worth nothing. Headlined “The future of the Science Gallery”, the website at dublin.sciencegallery.com/the-future outlines when the Science Gallery closes. Not much of a future it seems!
|
|
+++ The Treaty 1921: Records from the Archives – Exhibition
From 07 Dec to 27 March the Coach House in the gardens of Dublin Castle will be the home of a National Archives exhibition about “The Treaty 1921: Records from the Archives”. The Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 is the centre piece of the exhibition. Find out more here www.dublincastle.ie/2022_centenary/ Admission is free, but you need to book via www.nationalarchives.ie/2021commemorationprogramme/book-tickets/
|
|
+++ 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 .
|
|
+++ 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.
|
|
+++ 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,
–Joerg (dublineventguide@gmail.com) |
