Johnno09,
I write a weekly Event Guide that focuses on free events. It is completely free (so I hope this post doesn't count as advertisement!) and is sent by e-mail to all subscribers. The slightly boring but very accurate name for it is "Dublin Event Guide for Free Events", and it started as an e-mail to 20 friends (that's where the descriptive but not very exciting name came from) in June 2007. In the meantime the readership has reached more than 3400 subscribers and is growing on a daily basis.
To subscribe, just send an e-mail to
dublineventguide@gmail.com (You will NOT get any Spam and your mail address will not be shared with anyone!). I will add you to the list and you will get the weekly newsletter every Friday morning. Unsubscribing is easy as well, so no risk.
Be warned, the newsletter is VERY long because there are SOOOOO many free things happening in Dublin every week. There are concerts/gigs, festivals, talks, exhibitions, lots to do for children and adults.
By the way: My "Dublin Event Guide for Free Events" has nothing to do with "the event guide", which WAS a printed fortnightly newspaper-style publication and has now ceased publication of the printed issue, but plans to be online only from now on.
I don't usually write about all the regular free museums, but here is a quick list for you: National Museum, National Gallery, Hugh Lane Gallery, Chester Beaty Library, National Library, Garda Museum, Aras an Uachtarain (Saturday guided tour), etc.
Regards,
--Joerg
P.S. This is my first post here, because one of the subscribers to my weekly newsletter told be about this thread a few minutes ago and suggested that I let you know.
