Eight Festivals!

Dublin Festival of History; Dublin Arts & Human Rights Festival, COP ON! The Festival

The great people that donated last week were Mirjam and Louis! 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!

I am not worried yet, as this is only the second of five weekends in October, but if donations continue on the same low level as in the last 4 weeks, then we will miss the target of EUR 200 this month. So if you can, please help with a donation!

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…

+++ Dublin Festival of History (26 Sep-16 Oct)
With more than 130 events from 26 Sept until 16 Oct, the Dublin Festival of History is some busy festival. There are lots and lots of talks and last week I attempted to list them all int he Dublin Event Guide. But it took hours to do that. So this week I only included a few interesting events and the rest you can find on dublinfestivalofhistory.ie/
If you have an interest in talks about historic events, don’t miss out on this great programme. All events are free, but most require booking.

+++ Red Line Festival
The Red Line Festival is brought to you by South Dublin Libraries and Arts and it takes place from the 13-16 October. The events celebrate all things literary. So if literature is spoken, written, sung, played, illustrated or thought, it will fit in the festival. Many events are free and you can find all details here redlinefestival.ie/

+++ 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  .

+++ Open House Dublin 2022
Open House Dublin is an event by the Irish Architecture Foundation mainly on 15+16 October, but there are already a few tours on Friday 14 Oct.
Open House focuses on architecture. It looks at the buildings around us and you will be able to visit these buildings, go on a guided tour and find out from architects what was the idea behind how they are built.
At Open House there will be lots of tours in interesting buildings in Dublin on Saturday and Sunday and while some tours are walk-in tours where you just join a queue outside and wait until it is your turn, many require booking. So check the website www.openhousedublin.com and make a plan for the next weekend.

+++ Samhain Halloween Walks 2022 – Marlay Park (29+30 Oct)
Many people contacted me directly to find out if and when the Marlay Park Halloween Walks take place and how you can get tickets. These tickets are in hot demand and, so check out how it works here: The walks take place on Sat 29 Oct (16:30-20:30) and on Sunday 20 Oct (15:30-20:30). events.dlrcoco.ie/event/samhain-halloween-walks-2022
Tickets are free and will be available from www.eventbrite.ie/o/dun-laoghaire-rathdown-county-council-31637777971 For Saturday 29 October you can get the tickets from 14:00 on Saturday 15 October and tickets for Sun 30 October can be booked from 14:00 on Sun 16 October. (Each ticket admits 6 people! Dogs are not allowed, unless they are assistance dogs.)
The halloween walk is a 1.7km long haunted walk with “Weirdoes, Witches, Banshees and the Disco of Death”.

+++ Dublin Arts & Human Rights Festival
The Dublin Arts and Human Rights Festival is a yearly festival organised by Smashing Times International Centre for the Arts and Equality and Front Line Defenders, an organisation working to improve the security and protection of human rights defenders at risk. The festival runs from the 14-23 October and the theme is “In Solidarity: A Celebration of Human Rights”.
There will be workshops, theatre performances, musical performances, visual arts, exhibitions, film screenings, panel discussions, poetry and literature events, historical memory performances, live art, and digital installations.
The launch event is on Fri 14 Oct (18:00-19:30) in the Chocolate Factory and you can book free tickets at smashingtimes.ie/event/opening-ceremony/
All other events (most of them are free) can be found at smashingtimes.ie/whats-on/
I will list a few events in next week’s Dublin Event Guide, but since events sometimes book out fast, you should check them out before.

+++ Dublin Theatre Festival – Free events!
The Dublin Theatre Festival takes place from 29 Sept-16 Oct and on 07+08 and on 14+15 Oct, there are some performances (mainly Work-in-progress performances) that are free. They are all part of the Festival+ programme and you can find the details at dublintheatrefestival.ie/programme/festival-plus (Booking required).

+++ COP ON! The Festival – Arts, Talks & Workshops about Climate Action
The Cop On Festival about Climate Action will stimulate discussion and inspire concrete climate action for realistic and sustained change. It is organised by Concern Worldwide and is part of the 1Planet4All campaign. There will be “an inspiring mix of great speakers from Ireland and around the world along with legendary Irish bands, comedians and spoken word artists.” Some of the music acts are Kila, Sive, Accidental Rapper and 49th & Main. An open-air cinema, workshops, street food, flea market, reggae yoga, special DJ sets and a range of surprises will enhance the festival.
It will take place at TU Dublin, Lower House, Grangegorman, Dublin 7 On Friday 14 Oct (18:00-21:00 ) and Saturday 15 Oct (10:00-21:00). Admission is free, but registration is required at www.eventbrite.ie/e/415146082107
More information about the event can be found at copon.ie/
It seems that most workshops are sold out already, but there might be some more tickets on the day.

+++ dlr Festival of Inclusion 2022
For the whole month of October the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown Festival of Inclusion will take place (29 Sep-31 Oct) with plenty of free events promoting equality, diversity and inclusion. All events are listed here events.dlrcoco.ie/event/dlr-festival-inclusion-2022

+++ LOTS of Trinity College Talks
Trinity College is offering really interesting talks and LOTS of them. There are so many that I couldn’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.

+++ Inclusive Trinity Festival
From 10-20 Oct, the Inclusive Trinity Festival takes place in Trinity College Dublin. Through a whole range of talks and events, the festival is designed to be “a reminder that Trinity’s campuses are open to everyone and for everyone to enjoy.” www.tcd.ie/equality/InclusiveTrinityFestival2022/

+++ 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 somethign cmpletely 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 doen 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! :-)

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

Take care,

–Joerg (dublineventguide@gmail.com)
