Hi!
Since June 2007 the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) is issued once a week and lists/describes/recommends/suggests free weekend events for the coming weekend. The Dublin Event Guide is totally free and is sent by e-mail to all subscribers (usually on a Friday morning). - (By the way: It is not related and has nothing to do with the - now-expired - fortnightly printed commercial publication called, "the event guide" which you were able to find in pubs and other venues until Dec 2008. The Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) is instead a private initiative of myself with no financial backing.)
Events that get mentioned are festivals, concerts, exhibitions, fairs, talks, courses, markets. Anything and everything that could be interesting to people living in or visiting Dublin and is free.
The original idea behind the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) was to inform a few friends about free events, but in the meantime lots more people are on the distribution list and it is growing on a daily basis. :-)
If you want to be part of the exclusive group of Dublin Event Guide readers ;-) , just send an e-mail to
dublineventguide@gmail.com.
Please note: You HAVE to send an e-mail to this address if you want to receive the Guide. Joining this group is not enough! Facebook doesn't have the facilities to post the guide, so distribution is by e-mail only! Thanks.

I am limiting the listed events to FREE events based on the thinking that non-free events have it easier to advertise because they have some money and usually a different organisational structure AND because it should be doubley rewarded if someone puts on FREE events.
That doesn't mean, that I think EVERYTHING should be free, and I understand that many events can not be free, but there are plenty of websites and printed event guides in Dublin that list the non-free events. A selection of the sites are
www.entertainment.ie (good - LOTS of listings)
www.visitdublin.ie (good - official Dublin Tourism website)
www.indublin.ie (ok)
www.discoverireland.ie (ok)
www.dublinks.ie (appears to be dead - no updates)
The "FREE" rule for listings in my Event Guide has a few exceptions. Non-free events can be listed if
a) I am organising the event or am directly involved in the organisation (a rather selfish reason I admit ;-) ) OR
b) if the event organiser can make a few tickets available for free that can then be passed on to the readers of my Event Guide in the context of a competition OR
c) if it is listed together with another free event from the same organiser that is closely linked to the non-free event.
So if you are organising an event and after reading all this you think it should be listed in the Dublin Event Guide, let me know about it.
