Even More Markets

Christmas at the Castle, Christmas at Farmleigh House, Botanic Gardens Christmas Market and many more

|
|
Hi!!
|
|
Do you remember Christmas 2020 or Christmas 2021? At that time we were taking about “Level 5” and “close contacts” and “not more than 4 families and about boosting or not. It was DIFFERENT. Many thought it would never change again.
|
|
But this year, just 2/3 years later, we can’t even remember details. Well, most of us can’t! There are some people (one of my neighbours is among them) who are still sooo afraid and therefore wear a mask everytime they go out. Thankfully the kids remember nothing anymore, so the impact was not long term. But crazy how the world has changed again.
|
|
|
|
This weekend is by far the busiest pre-Christmas weekend for markets, so go out and enjoy the mingling and mixing that is sooo much different than just a few years ago.
|
|
Ohh and if you know of people who are still cocooning in fear of the outside world, maybe drop a Christmas card in their letter box or talk to them from a distance so that they know that there are people who care.
|
 |
|
Yes, yes,yes, the Christmas Markets are all at www.DublinChristmasMarkets.com You should definitely find something for you there. Check out the site and tell your friends and family if you like the information on it.

Donations in December:
EUR 248
|
|
(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 Lee, Philip, Susan, Claudiu. Claire, Andreea, Eric. Thanks so much! Your help is much appreciated and is making a difference. Because of you, the Dublin Event Guide continues spreading the word about free events!

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.

(Look for the RED subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)

+++ Entangled Islands – Ireland & the Caribbean
05 Sept-29 Feb – 10:00-17:00 – EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, chq Building, Customs House Quay, Dublin 1 – Adm: included in normal admission
Discover 400 years of Irish links to the Caribbean in this temporary exhibition (until February 2024) that tells the stories of a wide range of Irish people who traversed and settled in the Caribbean. It all started in the 17th century, when Irish indentured labourers were among the many thousands transported to work on islands acquired by the English. The Irish in time found their way into positions of power and privilege across the region, whether as plantation owners or colonial governors.
Entangled Islands traces this long and multifaceted history of connection through 19 key figures on either side of the Atlantic, from merchants and enslavers to poets and journalists.
Admission is included in the normal ticket price. Find out more here epicchq.com/entangled-islands/

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.

+++ Gardiner Street Gospel Choir Christmas Concert – Ticket Competition
“Christmas Spirit: An Evening of Christmas Joy” is the title of the Christmas event with the Gardiner Street Gospel Choir, supported by Gardiner Street Primary School Choir & Xavier Music Ministry.

I am part of the choir and heavily involved in the concert and it will be a great Christmassy event.The winners have been notified, but you can still buy tickets!

+++ Live Animal Crib at Mansion House
The Live Animal Crib is back! After last year’s mayor saw some non-existent animal welfare issue with the crib, this year the crib is back and it is open from 06-24 December. You would think that the opening hours will be mentioned somewhere, but unfortunately that is not the case. But if we assume 11:00-17:00, we are probably very close. www.ifa.ie/resources/ifa-live-animal-crib-returns-to-mansion-house-for-christmas-2023/
|
|
+++ Dublin Art Book Fair
Every year I am wondering if a (art) book fair is a cultural event and why it is more cultural than a book shop who opens their door every day of the year. I still don’t know, but the Art Book Fair 2023 will take place again in Temple Bar Gallery + Studios in Temple Bar and if you want to know more about it, check out www.templebargallery.com/exhibitions/dublin-art-book-fair-2023
|
|
+++ 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! :-)
|
|
+++ Christmas FM
Christmas FM is back and will play Christmas songs right up to Christmas. You can listen to it online on christmasfm.com/ or on FM on frequency 105.2. The charities this year are Barnardos, Barretstown, Make-A-Wish Ireland and Community Foundation Ireland and the goal is to collect over 1 million for children in the next 2 years.
|
|
+++ Dublin Winter Lights in Merrion Square
The “Winter Light” installation at Merron Square is back and while it is not free (EUR 2 per adult with 2 free kids included), it is low-priced enough to mention it here. This is not a Christmas light installation, but nice and entertaining lights that could mesmerise your children. You can buy tickets and see some pictures at dublinwinterlights.ie/dublin-winter-lights-merrion-square/
|
|
+++ Exhibition: Women of Sheriff Street
An interesting exhibition of local artists who have painted the Women of Sheriff Street is on show in the Central Bank on North Wall Quay until Fri 15 December. The exhibition opens at 10:00 and seems to be open during business hours. www.centralbank.ie/events/event-detail/2023/11/29/default-calendar/exhibition–women-of-sheriff-street
|
|
+++ The Moving Crib is moving again
The Moving Crib is a crib that stretches across the whole basement of the St Martin Apostolate at Parnell Square and in which the figures move in a endearing way. So it is particularly suited for kids, but also adults will get something out of it. The Moving Crib is open from 11:00-17:30 every day (with a small number of exceptions) from 27 Nov until 07 Jan. Admission is free. The address is St Martin Apostolate, 42 Parnell Square West, Dublin 1 www.stmartin.ie/crib/
|
|
+++ THE DOCKERS OF DUBLIN PORT – EXHIBITION
From Thursday 23 Nov Dublin Port Company presents the exhibition “Solidarity – The Dockers of Dublin Port”. It will be on show in the newly refurbished Substation building on Alexandra Road and will describe the story of the dockers in Dublin Port, a story of hardship but also one of humour and resilience. The exhibition is open every Thursday until Sunday from 11:30-15:30. Admission is free. www.dublinportarchive.com/news_event/solidarity-the-dockers-of-dublin-port
