Dun Laoghaire Bank Holiday Walking Tour - Explore History and Make Friends!
***Join us on a history-focused walking tour of Dun Laoghaire and Sandycove!***
Hello! My name is Marina Boyle and I'm a local tour guide excited to share my favourite part of Dublin with you. This is history focused guided tour that will take you through beautiful Dun Laoghaire, Glasthule, and Sandycove. It is suitable for both locals and those new to the area, or anyone who wants to learn and make friends at the same time!
We'll start at Dun Laoghaire DART station and visit landmarks like the East Pier, Dun Laoghaire Baths, the Forty Foot, and the James Joyce Tower Museum. All the way along I'll be explaining the local history, with time for guests to chat and make connections between stops. Come and see what makes the coast of Dublin so captivating!
This event will start at 11 am sharp and last approximately 2 hours. Please note that this is a tip-based tour, and most guests choose to contribute around €5–€10 per person (or more if the tour was unforgettable 😄). The tour will include entry into the James Joyce Museum, including access to the roof for 360 degree views of Dublin.
I am looking forward to meeting you!

Acoustic night with Meaghan&Rob
Join us at the Wild Duck on the 1st of June for a relaxed evening of unplugged music, where we share songs, laughs and a love for all things musical.
Whether you're a seasoned performer or stepping out of your bedroom with your first song, this is a space to play, listen, and connect.
**New to performing?**
We’re a healthy mix of people at various stages of their amateur music journey but we want to create space that is especially welcoming to first-time performers. If you're new to sharing music, know that this is a no-pressure, supportive space where beginners are encouraged and we value having fun over perfection!
**How it works:**
* It’s unplugged and intimate. We go around in a song circle - each person gets a turn to play one song per round. You’re welcome to sit out a round if you prefer.
* Singers welcome - no instrument needed. Go acappella or ask for accompaniment.
* Covers, originals, instrumentals - all styles welcome.
**A few practical notes:**
* RSVP is essential in order to perform.
* Plus one’s are welcome RSVP only required for musicians.
* Can’t make it? Please update your RSVP so someone else can join.
* Respect the performers: stay quiet during songs, and use breaks between rounds to grab a drink or step out.
* The venue is free so we encourage you to support the bar by grabbing a drink.
* The room we will be in is semi-private - patrons may wander in and listen from the back of the room.
**Tips jar on the night
**
This helps cover the Meetup fee that hosts pay out of pocket (around €17/month). No pressure to contribute (but it helps keep things running)

👋👌 International Mishmash Meetup - NEW Friendships at R.I.O.T !!! 🍻🍺
Hello Mishmashers 👋
Excited to see you at our next meetup! **We’re changing things up and meeting directly at R.I.O.T.**, one of the coolest spots in town for good conversations, easy socialising, and a bit more fun.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
💬 **Great chats with lovely people!** Whether you’re a local or from the other side of the world, you’re very welcome here.
🌍 **Not a native English speaker?** Awesome. You’ll get to practice with native speakers in a relaxed, no-pressure setting.
🇮🇪 **Are you a native English speaker?** Cool. Chat in English or find someone to practice another language with. Why not mix it up?
✨ We’re a diverse, super-friendly, and inclusive bunch, open to everyone, whether you’re shy, outgoing, or somewhere in between.
🎯 Our awesome organizers are always around to make sure things run smoothly and everyone feels included.
💡 One of the nicest things we hear again and again: even introverts feel at ease here. That’s something we’re really proud of.
🤝 **Instant connections!** You might walk in alone, but you’ll probably leave with new friends.
📅 **This Saturday at 4:00pm!**
We’ll be meeting at **R.I.O.T.**, in a brilliant private space downstairs. It’s a much bigger setup than before, with room for **up to 100 people**, so there’s more space to mingle, move around, meet new people, and settle into conversations naturally.
The vibe is exactly what Mishmash is about: relaxed, international, social, and fun. Great atmosphere, proper pub energy, and plenty of space for chats, laughs, language practice, and spontaneous connections.
📍 **How to find us:**
Come into R.I.O.T. and take the stairs on the left down to the basement room. That’s where the Mishmash crew will be waiting for you.
🎉 **Theme: “International Mishmash”**
A chill space for people from all over, including Ireland, to swap stories, share laughs, and practice languages if you fancy. Shout-out to our lovely Irish regulars!
🍻 And the best part? Since we’re already at R.I.O.T., you can stay on for tasty burgers, proper pints, and more good craic. No need to move venue this time!
