REVIEWS✍️
Clare * 9 reviews •
Had such a great time at this beginner DJ workshop today. It was super accessible, really well structured, and the fact that it was female-only made it feel especially comfortable and welcoming.

Gibby was a brilliant teacher, checking in with everyone, going at our pace, and explaining things clearly without ever making it feel intimidating. He covered the basics really well, but also gave us loads of practical guidance on how we could set ourselves up if we wanted to keep going afterwards, which felt very thoughtfully planned.

This must be the place was great space for the workshop. It was great craic from start to finish and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would highly recommend to anyone curious about DJing and not sure where to start.

Legends, Ghosts and Ghouls of Dublin | Walking Tour

Fri, May 22 · 6:00 PM IST

WB Yeats House, 81 Merrion Square Street 2 Dublin, dublin, IE

Experience Dublin's mysterious legends and myths on this 90 minute walking tour.

### Legends, Ghosts, and Ghouls!

Get your Tickets

Ireland has a unique relationship with its legendary past. Kept alive in the histories of the Filí and the Seanchaidhe, Ireland’s gods were not destroyed but - in the words of Mark Williams - demoted to lesser beings. This is an important element of Ireland’s oral histories, which in turn have coloured its popular histories and left many legends for us to parse over today.
On the other side of Irish history we have the ballrooms, the salons, and the private studies of Dublin’s litterati. The seances and unwrapping parties, the mysteries and the macabre, all combining into the secret esoteric orders that strove to unlock the secrets of existence.
Come explore with us where these two elements fuse to create the wonderful world of Legends, Ghosts, and Ghouls that are just as much a part of Dublin’s history as any of its citizens and buildings…
Our tour has over 100 excellent reviews online and is ranked in the top tours on Trip Advisor.
TOPICS

• Maud Gonne & WB Yeats
• The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn

Pitch your mate and help them find true love or sit back and find the love of your life via the romantic medium of powerpoint!
Have you got a mate who’s too shy to put themselves out there but definitely ready to meet the love of their life?

Or maybe… that mate is you?

Get your Tickets

Welcome to Date My Mate, a two-hour event where confidence is optional and friendship is mandatory. Instead of awkward small talk, we’re handing you the clicker.
Participants will have three and a half minutes to present a powerpoint pitching their friend to a room full of potential suiters. Think: green flags, red flags, fun facts, embarrassing photos (used lovingly), and why this person is an absolute catch.

How it works:

• Purchase a ticket to attend the event
• You’ll receive a confirmation email with a google form to nominate yourself or a friend to present
• We will let you know if you have been picked to present or not (sorry, we are limited on time, we can't give everybody the time!)
• If choosen to present, you’ll get three and a half glorious minutes to sell the dream
• There will be a prize for the best presentation

No pressure. No swiping. Just slides, laughs, and maybe… love.

Ready to pitch perfection? 💘📈

Come alone to meet somebody new, or bring a friend!

I have my presentatin ready!
Unfortunetly not everybody will be able to present. We have a time limit of 3 and a half minutes for each person so we will do our best to include everybody, but YOU NEED TO APPLY! Once you purchase your ticket there is an application form, you must apply to present!

What should my presentation include?
Show off your friend in the best light possible. Some pictures, their hobbies, what they think is the perfect date. Maybe even some of their unusal habits. Keep it fun and lighthearted and love will follow...!

Can I come alone?
Absolutely! Come alone and meet the love of your life or bring a friend to help them meet theirs.

Do I have to pitch?
Nope, not everybody needs to pitch somebody. We will be selecting a few people to pitch their friends and everybody else can enjoy the presentations!

My friend can't make it, can I still pitch them?
We want everybody that is being pitched to attend the event so that they can meet their potential suiters on the night, so yes they must be in attendance.

Does everybody need a ticket?
Yes, everybody that plans to come needs a ticket, whether presenting, being presented or just a spectator.

What is the age range?
This particular event is for those aged 21 to 35 years.
