Another bit of St. Patrick
|
|
More events at the Festival Village
|
|
|
|
Good Morning!
|
|
I hope you had a great St. Patrick’s Day yesterday. The weather was for a St. Patrick’s Day exceptionally good and now let’s hope that the warmer weather will come and stay.
|
|
St. Patrick’s Day is over, but the St. Patrick’s Festival not yet. The free events will continue at the festival village at Collins Barracks for another day (Saturday) and hopefully you will get a chance to be part of it. (I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed that the Festival Village events end before the weekend is over.)
|
|
|
|
Another highlight for many at this weekend will be the Rugby match tomorrow. If you are Irish, you know that the nation’s pride could get a great boost if Ireland win. If you are not Irish, you might support Ireland anyway, but I also know LOTS of people that have no particular interest in Rugby.
|
|
I had close to zero exposure to Rugby before I came to Ireland and despite all the years here and the successes that Ireland had in the last 10 years or so, I still struggle to share the excitement. But I am happy to support the supporters :-) and although I might not watch the game, I definitely hope Ireland will win!
|
 |
|
The week after St. Patrick’s Day often comes with less events because people (and event organisers) need to recover again, so don’t expect tooo much for next week. On the other hand, if you are a Dublin Event Guide reader for a while, you know that there is always SOMETHING happening in Dublin. …and if it is happening and is free, then you will find it here! :-)
|
|
|
|
Donations in March:
EUR 193 + 230
|
|
(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.
|
|
|
|
Oops, I just realise that I forgot to gather the list of donors from last week. I will add it next week rather then sending our this newsletter. Thank you nevertheless hugely! :-) Your donation will keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and will motivate me to continue week after week.I appreciate you and your support!
|
|
The 800th anniversary donations were EUR 230 (see above) and for now, I keep that separate from the “upkeep” donations. The reason for that is that I plan to use that money to fix and modernise the Dublin Event Guide website. It really needs it and I was postponing that for a long time of the cost that are not covered by the normal donations.
|
|
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 Euro! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 4. 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!!

+++ St. Patrick’s Festival
The St. Patrick’s Festival will take place this year from 16-19 March. THe Parade is over, but the festival village at Collins Barracks will still have free events until 17:00 today. stpatricksfestival.ie/events/festival-quarter
|
|
+++ 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 .
|
|
+++ Lenten Vespers with Choirs
In St. Mary’s Pro Cathedral Vespers (sung masses) will take place every Tuesday and Friday. On Tuesday at 17:30 it is with the St. Mary’s Pro-Cathedral Girls Choir and on Fridays at 17:30 with the Palestrina Choir.

|
|
+++ Five Lamps Art Festival
For the 16th time, the Five Lamps Arts Festival will take place in the North Inner City Area around the Five Lamps, a street lantern at a 5-street junction in Amiens Street, Dublin 1. The festival will run from 13-31 March and will come with lots of events and many of them are free. The website is at fivelampsarts.ie and the programme can be found in PDF format at fivelampsarts.ie/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Five-Lamps-Art-Festival-2023-Brochure.pdf
|
|
+++ 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.
|
|
+++ 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! :-)
|
 |
|
And this is it for another week! Have a great weekend and good new week.
Take care,
