reviving gardans, Growing community
**Hands in the Soil: Community Growing, Learning & Craic**
This first gathering will be a relaxed mix of **hands-on garden work, shared learning, and good conversation**. It’s about getting together in a real space, doing something practical, and seeing what ideas and connections might grow from there.
On the day, we’ll:
* Get our **hands dirty** with some light garden work and soil prep
* Do some **seed sowing** and talk about what grows well locally
* **Make kombucha together** and chat about fermentation, food, and simple home practices
* Share knowledge, questions, and experiences around growing food
* Enjoy some **fellowship, chats, and a bit of craic** along the way.Alongside the practical side, we’ll also have an open, informal discussion about a bigger idea:
* The possibility of **small community “park farms” or gardens** in underused green spaces around Dublin
* What that might look like, what’s realistic, and whether others feel drawn to exploring it further
There’s no pressure, no expertise required, and no expectation beyond showing up with curiosity and a willingness to pitch in. Whether you’re experienced with gardening or completely new, you’re very welcome.
Bring clothes you don’t mind getting muddy, and if you have them, gloves. Everything else will be very low-key.
This is just a **first step** — a chance to meet, work, talk, and see if there’s a shared appetite to keep growing something together.
Let's go to: Outdoor Yoga + Coffee in Dun Laoghaire
Want to go to Sunday morning outdoor yoga but don't want to go solo? Let's go together and grab a coffee afterwards!
It's been a loooooong winter but spring seems to have finally sprung so it's time to get back out there for the first Yoga Social event of 2026!
Tabhair Aire is an outdoor yoga event in the beautiful surroundings of the Dun Laoghaire baths overlooking the sea. The event is free of charge but you must secure a spot via the link in their bio [@tabhairaire.ie](http://@tabhairaire.ie).
**PLEASE NOTE:** I am not affiliated with the organisers of the Tabhair Aire event. This is simply a social MeetUp for people who want to attend as part of a group and then grab a coffee together afterwards.

About *Yoga Social*:
Love yoga but wish it was a bit more… social? You’re in the right place.
Yoga Social is for people who enjoy yoga and want to meet others who do too. We’re not running classes ourselves — instead, we’re getting like-minded people together to try out different studios, styles, and events together (with coffee and chats afterwards of course).
Whether you’re into hot yoga, slow flow, or just here for the savasana, come join us as we check out new classes, explore wellness spots and events around town, and make some new friends along the way. Sometimes we'll mix it up with the occasional brunch, walk, sauna, sound bath, or whatever else looks like fun.
Open to all levels, all backgrounds, and anyone who is looking for some yoga buddies!

Bray History Tour - Guided Walk and Time to Chat - St. Patrick's Day Special
***Join us on a history-focused walking tour of Bray! This is a St. Patrick's Day special with lots of general history and a Paddy's Day story for the day that's in it!***
Hi everyone, my name is Marina Boyle and I'm a local tour guide excited to share Bray with you! On this guided walk I'll take you through the local stories of early Bray through to Victorian times and into the modern day.
Did you know that Bray was once a popular honeymoon destination? Or indeed a smuggling hot spot, home to Turkish Baths, and the location of Ireland's oldest film studio?
As I share these stories and more, there will also be plenty of time to chat and make connections. Whether you are local, new to the area, or wanting to learn and make friends at the same time, this tour is for you!
We'll start at Bray Harbour, opposite the Harbour Bar. This is accessible by DART, bus or car. The tour will finish in a similar location and last approximately 1.5 hours.
This is a tip based tour. If you enjoy the tour and are able to give a contribution, any amount is appreciated.
I am looking forward to meeting you :)

We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
