Dublin Event Guide 936: Break Ahead – Open House Dublin, Irish Arts and Human Rights Festival, Bohemia Flea Market, Red Line Book Festival

Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)

Break Ahead

Open House Dublin, Irish Arts and Human Rights Festival, Bohemia Flea Market, Red Line Book Festival

Hi!!

Internet connection down, customer emergency at work and a mountian of free events. Today I was challenged big time and thought I have to give up for the first time in 936 editions. I got it done, but am sooo late! Apologies!

The year is changing pace with autumn taking over and Christmas announcing itself in the shops. So in a last rebellious act against the cooler temperatures, I have also decided to change pace for a little and will be away for two weekends.

Normally I plan my holidays around Dublin Event Guides, but this time this wasn’t possible and so the Dublin Event Guide has to be planned around my holidays.

That means that there will not be a full Dublin Event Guide for the weekends of 18–19 and 25–26 October. It is even possible that there won’t be a Dublin Event Guide at all. Internet access will be very limited where I will be and even electricity is only available for a few hours every day. I’ll try to put together a shorter version with weekend highlights, but I can’t promise anything just yet. I’ll post an update on the Dublin Event Guide Facebook page, so keep an eye there if you’re wondering what’s happening.

But even when I’m away, Dublin won’t stand still. The cultural heartbeat of the city keeps going with music, exhibitions, markets, talks and workshops. So if there’s no guide in your inbox, I hope you’ll still venture out and explore what’s on. You might discover a new favourite spot or stumble upon an unexpected performance. That’s the magic of this city.

This week’s guide is packed with even more free events and activities across Dublin than normal, so make the most of what’s offered … and bring a friend or two along.

Thank you, as always, for being part of the Dublin Event Guide community. Your support, your donations and your enthusiasm make this possible week after week. I’m looking forward to coming back refreshed and ready for the busy weeks ahead. First Halloween and then not to far after it all the sparkle of the pre-Christmas!

Until then, enjoy the city and keep an eye on Facebook for updates. See you soon!

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

The working title for my video series on YouTube is the “Better You” videos, they are all about 5-7 minute long about how to better your life. Check out this video series if you want to achieve more in life, but are talking yourself out of it. www.youtube.com/@JoergSteegmueller

Donations in October:
EUR 185

(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.

This week the wonderful people who helped with donations were Carmel, Majella, Grainne, Mirjam, Fernanda, Frances, Sara, Carrie, Patricia, Aoife, Lisa, Aileen. You are sooo amazing! Thank you so so much!

Two amazing weeks regarding donations- We were pretty deep in the red and you lifted us out of the red and in a great position for the rest of October last week and this weel the donations continued so that are just EUR 15 away from covering the complete cost for October already in the middle of the month. I really really appreciate you all! Again this week, lots of people helped who have helped already before, that is so wonderful. Thank you!!

For everybody else: If you can help in any way (every amount is very much appreciated!), please do so. Your help is essential to keep the Dublin Event Guide going.

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!!

+++ Dublin City Council Jive & Line
Dublin City is organising a country music and dance event on Sunday 19 October on Meeting House Square in Temple Bar. From 14:00-17:00 there will be family-friendly jiving, line dancing and interactive workshops. Admission is free for everybody, but you have to book tickets at www.eventbrite.com/e/1733708341319

+++ Dublin City Council Culture Company
Every week, the Dublin City Council Culture Company organises cultural events in venues in Dublin. They are events in addition to the normal events in museums, galleries and other venues. All events are free, but access is by registration only. And these events are POPULAR!! So when I get to checking them out on the Friday before they take place, the most interesting ones are usually already booked out. If you are interested, check them out here cultureclubdublin.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows (This week you only see a few, because every month a new batch is uploaded not in a rolling way, but in a month by month 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/
