Hi!!
|
|
St Patrick’s Day is behind us and for me that usually feels like the real start of the event season in Dublin. When the green hats are gone and the city has recovered, then suddenly there are more things happening again, especially outdoors. Every year it feels like this is the point where the calendar starts filling up properly.
|
|
Even the weather seems to have got the memo this time. The rain has finally eased off, the sun is out and it almost feels like we might be moving towards spring for real. That alone makes it easier to leave the house again.
|
|
|
|
Because Easter is so close, the full complement of outdoor events i another little bit in waiting, but sooooon. For now it’s just great to see this wonderful ball of fire in the sky and that events in Dublin are picking up again.
|
|
This week’s Dublin Event Guide nearly didn’t make it. The editor that I use got a major update and nothing worked anymore. You will see that still some graphical elements are missing. The old editor was working so well and they totally have messed it up. Apologies for the LATE arrival again.

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. https://www.youtube.com/@JoergSteegmueller

Donations in March:
EUR 106
|
|
(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 great people who helped with donations were Adam, Barbara, Kessia, and Ann. Thanks a lot! Keeping the Dublin Event Guide going is quite low cost at just EUR 200 per month. I am doing the work and gather all the events and compile this weekly publication. And I need you to help getting the money together to cover the cost for software, e-mail sending, Internet hosting, domains etc. Your support is essential and very much appreciated!
|
|
March is nearly over and we are still far away from reaching this month’s EUR 200. So if you can, please help this week with a donation.
|
|
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: https://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 http://www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb or now also https://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 https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG
|
 |
|
And there is one other way to help and it is even free: If you come to http://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.

+++ Colours Boat Races
This Saturday 21 March, the Colours Boat Race, a rowing competition between UCD and Trinity College takes place on the Liffey. The Colours Boat Races began in 1947 when the Gannon Cup was presented in memory of UCD Captain Ciaran Gannon who was killed in Burma in 1944. Since then three more races were added and because the race needs the right water level it depends on the tide and therefore the start time changes from year to year.
This year, the schedule is
10:30 – Dan Quinn Shield
10:45 – Sally Moorhead Trophy
11:00 – Gannon Cup
11:15 – Corcoran Cup
The race takes place between O’Connell Bridge and the Finish line at St. James’s Gate. Spectators are very welcome and a viewing area will be in place at the finish line on Victoria Quay.
Find all details at http://coloursboatraces.ie

|
+++ Autism Acceptance Week
The Autism Acceptance Festival is a week of online seminars at lunchtime from Mon 23 March until Thursday 26 March. Find all details at https://www.ncirl.ie/About/EDI/Autism-Acceptance-Festival
|
|
+++ 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 https://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 https://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.
