Dublin Event Guide 888: 888 weeks! – Bohemia Flea Market, Science Week, Irish Design Week, Alf’s Journey

November 9th, 2024

 

Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)

888 weeks!

Bohemia Flea Market, Science Week, Irish Design Week, Alf’s Journey

Hi!!

Welcome to the 888th edition of the Dublin Event Guide. I know, it doesn’t really make any difference to you if it is the 26th edition or the 434th or – as it is this week – the 888th. For me it is relevant because it means that for 888 weeks I haven’t slept on a Friday night. :-D

If you are a reader of the Dublin Event Guide for a while, you might know that I have a day job (and a few side jobs) and the only time I have for the Dublin Event Guide is from around 21:00 on Friday evening until it is finished the next morning. That doesn’t justify, but might explain why the newsletter is often late.

888 editions means that I am doing this mad thing of writing a weekly newsletter about cultural events for no admission charges in Dublin for over 17 YEARS! ;-) Some of you are with me from the first year, others found the “Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)” only very recently. No matter how long you are part of this “family” of event lovers, you are VERY welcome!

And MAYBE/HOPEFULLY I will manage at some point :-o again to send this newsletter much earlier (it is the biggest challenge and the biggest downside of the Dublin Event Guide). Thanks for sticking with me nevertheless!!!

Donations in November:
EUR 147

(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 Rebecca, Karen, Roy and Sharon were the wonderful people who helped with a donation. Thank you so much! Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and it is truly a wonderful group of people who help keeping the Dublin Event Guide going. Join this exclusive group! Without donations to pay the bills I will not be able to continue.

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!!

Voicenotes – Brilliant Voice Note Taking and transcription app

I’ve been using Voicenotes for the last few months and it’s been a game-changer for my productivity! This simple app lets me take voice notes on the go and it transcribes everything for me. No more manual note-taking! after recording the note, it transcribes it and the transcription is super accurate and saves me a lot of time. Often apps like that come with a relatively high monthly fee an that makes them pretty uninteresting. Voicenotes is different. Right now, they’re offering a lifetime deal for just $50, but this LIfetime Deal is coming to an end this week or might already be finished.. If you’re looking for an easy way to capture your thoughts and stay organized, I highly recommend it. You can sign up here: www.getthislink.com/voicenotes
Voicenotes works in your webbrowser and there are also Android and iOS apps.

++ SCIENCE WEEK 2024
Science Week 2024 takes place from 10-17 November and there will be 30 free events in Dublin. Unfortunately I can’t give you a link to the list, but you can create the list yourself at www.sfi.ie/events/ On the left hand side select Region: Dublin, Admission Free: Free and for the Audience I unselected Academy, Industry, Media, Primary School and Secondary School and that left 30 events. Some of them are in the listing above, but not all.

++ Irish Architecture Foundation EXHIBITIONS

From 24 October until 01 December, the Irish Architecture Foundation is running four exhibtiions “A Lot With Little”, “BenchMark”, “On Rest” and “The Reason of Towns”, which together are a main component of the “This Is Where We Are Now” event series that ecxamines the state of our place with exhibitions, films, symposia and talks.
All exhibitions are at the temporary venue at Charlemont Walk, Dublin 2 and access is free.
Find more details at architecturefoundation.ie/news/this-is-where-we-are-now-continues/

++ MORE FESTIVALS

The inclusion festivals tht the boroughs of Dublin celebrate often do not introduce new events, but instead are just a collection of events that take place with or without the inclusion festival, so I will just list them here and not puta huge emphasis on them in the lisitng above

++ Dublin City Inclusion & Integration Week (11-17 Nov) dublincityinclusion.ie/2024-events/
++ Fingal Inclusion Week (11-17 Nov) www.fingal.ie/events/fingal-inclusion-week-2024
The Irish Language LIterature Festival has a few free events, but is tricky to navigate and is challenging me additionally due to my non-existant Irish skills. If someone provided me with a list of free events, I would include them. Without that, I wil just mention it here:
++ IMRAM Irish Literature Festival (07-16 Nov) imram.ie/

+++ 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! :-)

+++ IKEA Crafting / Music / Cooking Workshops
Ikea in Ballymun runs a variety of crafting, music and cooking workshops it is always worh checking out. The workshops are free and usually go for 45 minutes. They are always for children, but the age is often not fixed. There are specific Toddler and baby workshops at times as well. Check them out on www.ikea.com/ie/en/stores/events/ikea-ballymun/

+++ Some more events:

+ Variety of Tours and talks at the National Museums in Kildare Street and at Collins Barracks www.museum.ie/en-ie/eventcalendar

+ Variety of Public Tours at the National Gallery www.nationalgallery.ie/whats-on

Find Library events here www.dublincity.ie/events
and Trinity College Events here www.tcd.ie/news_events/events/?day=18&month=03&year=2024&search=week

+++ Storytelling and Toddler Groups at Dublin City Libraries
The Dublin City Libraries have published a list of Storytelling and Toddler groups for age 0-4 across the Dublin City Libraries. You can find it here www.dublincity.ie/library/blog/storytelling-and-toddler-groups-dublin-city-libraries

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

Take care,

–Joerg (dublineventguide@gmail.com)
