Hi!!
|
|
900 Editions of the Dublin Event Guide!
|
|
Back in June 2007, I sent an email to 10 friends about some great free events happening in Dublin. Little did I know that I had just signed up for a lifetime commitment… or at least 900 weeks of non-stop event hunting! ;-)
|
|
Since then, the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) has grown to 24,000 email subscribers and 83,000 Facebook followers, all united by a love of Dublin’s incredible free cultural scene. Every week, I spend around 14 hours (mostly through the night on Fridays—yes, I’m questioning my sanity too! ) searching, writing and putting it all together.
|
|
|
|
This is a completely free service that is run in my spare time and it only exists because of you – the readers – who open, share, attend events and support the Dublin Event Guide. Without your enthusiasm and your donations, it simply wouldn’t be here anymore.
|
|
So, a massive THANK YOU for sticking with me for 900 editions! Will we reach 1800? Well, let’s just say… I’m not making any promises.
|
|
But for now, let’s celebrate with another amazing week of completely free events!
|
 |
|
If you have friends or family or colleagues that also enjoy cultural events in Dublin, let them know that they can sign up for the free weekly Dublin Event Guide newsletter at getthislink.com/DEGSignup
|
|
And if you like the Dublin Event Guide and want that it continues for another 900 editions, then let me invite you to give an anniversary to the project in the form of a donation. All donations are going in full to cover the cost. Thank you!
|
|
|
|
Donations in February:
EUR 91
|
|
(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 the wonderful people who helped with a donation were Des, Helen, Rhona, Renee, Aisling, Tony, Maria, Araon, Wendy and Grainne. Thanks a lot. Your contribution is much appreciated.
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!!

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.

+++ Lunar New Year 2025
The Chinese New Year, or as we call it for the last 2 or 3 years, the Lunar New Year will start on Wednesday 29 Jan and there are a good few events every year to celebrate this big event. The coming year is the Year of the Snake and you find all events for the Dublin Lunar New Yer at www.dublinlunarnewyear.ie/events/ Happy New Year! The main event in Dublin on Meeting House Square in Temple Bar will be on Sunday.

+++ IMBOLC but not Spring!
Today, on 01 Feb is Imbolc, a Celtic Festival that marks that middle point between winter solstice and spring equinox. It is also St. Brigid’s Day, but there is some controversy over whether St. Brigid even existed.
Pagans and Celts celebrated Imbolc and they also celebrated the first day of the year on our 31 October, at Halloween or in Celtic terms, Samhain. And their day started at sunset not at what we call midnight.
The celts did not define seasons like we do and their seasons were not guided by weather as our meteorological seasons are.
These are all facts, but then something went wrong in Ireland and kids were taught a mighty mess of things and even today, primary schools teach the incorrect information that spring starts on 01 February.
The Irish Met Service is trying for years to correct this…unsuccessfully. www.met.ie/climate/climate-of-ireland (look for “Meteorological Seasons”)
Meteorologically, spring starts on 01 March and astronomically it starts on 21 March. Spring does not start on 01 February no matter how you turn it. (Imbolc is not the same as the start of spring.)
But I know that the wrong primary school teachings are so deeply ingrained that many people in Ireland struggle with the fact that spring only starts a month later.
If you are one of them, don’t worry, you got over the fact that Santa and the tooth fairy are not real. ;-) And if nothing can change your mind then that is also ok. The world will continue turning either way. ;-)

|
+++ 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/
