Hi!!
|
|
How is your “summer”? We had amazingly WONDERFUL days for about 2 weeks, but this daily often HEAVY, rain that we are having now is definitely a lot more than I remember from any previous years. Sure, really good weather doesn’t happen that often, but I remember water shortages, not daily rain from previous summers. :-o
|
|
|
|
Understandably, for outdoor events, low temperatures are less of a problem than wet weather. We can’t do anything about the rain and organisers will try as much as possible to prepare for all eventualities and if you want to help, then go to events no matter how the weather is. The right clothes always help! :-)
|
|
The good news is that the long term forecast suggests that in August rainfall will step by step go back to normal levels and temperatures will stay slightly above average. So no other heatwave, but at least normality.
|
 |
|
Have you been on holidays already or do you still have them ahead of you? Or are you staying at home? I will be away for a whole 12 days (that is long for me!) in August and the reason for telling you is because there will be two weekends on which you might not get a Dublin Event Guide. For 12/13 August and 19/20 August you will at best get a VERY VERY short Dublin Event Guide, but there is a definite possibility that you will get none at all.
|
|
Let me know if you prefer a short Dublin Event Guide or rather none at all!
|
|
|
|
Donations in July:
EUR 112
|
|
(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.
|
|
|
|
Thank you soo much for helping again this week! This week the following wonderful person donated: Katie! Thank you! :-) Your donation will keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and will motivate me to continue week after week. I appreciate you and your support!
|
|
At the end of this coming week is 28 July, so the month is nearly over and in comparison to other months, the donation counter is at the lowest level ever. We need to reach EUR 200 so that I can pay the bills. Can you help? All help is very much appreciated!
|
|
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!!

Please note: To speed up the creation of the weekday section of the Dublin Event Guide, I am experimenting with a few minor changes. One is that I am not adding the full address of the venue to all events anymore (for now). If you don’t know where the venue is, you will find it by checking the event link.

+++ 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! :-)

+++ Dublin Events & Food Blog on Instagram
Under @i_come_undone, a good friend and great supporter of the Dublin Event Guide, Sarah Hanrahan, posts lots of interesting things about Dublin on Instagram. Sarah writes about hidden spaces, Cocktail Experiences, Restaurants and also about events and last week she posted “Thirty more unique things happening in this “Kip” over the next few weeks”. Read that together with the post “There’s NOTHING to do in Dublin” and you have a good list (approx. 60) of (mainly non-free) events that are happening in July, August and September. Sarah has 113,000 followers, so she is a lot more successful than me! ;-) You should follow her!
So go to instagram.com and use the user name @i_come_undone

+++ Liberties Festival
This year’s Liberties Festival will be from 24-30 July. It is one of the oldest festivals of a suburb/area of Dublin and lots of events are planned. All events are listed on the website, but they are sorted by type, which makes it unnecessary complicated to get an overview of what is happening. The events are there, but it will take time to get through the seven categories. thelibertiesfestival.com
