👋👌 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!

How to get to the meet up:
*LUAS* \- the Drunken Fish is right next to the Mayor Square \- NCI Luas stop on the red line
*DART/Irish Rail* \- Dublin Connolly is probably the easiest station for most people\, but the Docklands station is also close

Belly Dance Movement for Wellbeing
A relaxed belly dance-inspired movement session in Dublin city centre.
This class is an accessible movement practice designed to support wellbeing, posture, and gentle full-body fitness.
We work from simple foundational movements and focus on:
✨ Core strength and stability
✨ Posture and body alignment
✨ Hip, lower back, and leg mobility
✨ Coordination and balance
✨ Body awareness and relaxation
No experience is required. This is an open-level session where we explore movement in a simple and supportive way, without performance pressure. The focus is on how the body feels, not how it looks.
***
## Social & Community
After the session, you are welcome to stay for a coffee or lunch nearby in Dublin city centre. A relaxed way to connect and enjoy the weekend.

BullIsland Beach Volleyball :)
Hi all, lets meet at 12h to play Beach Volleyball in BullIsland, near the car park on the "Statue of Our Lady, Star Of The Sea" side of BullIsland. From Clontarf Rd cross over "The Wooden Bridge" and keep going on until the end, turn left when you see the beach car park and keep going to the left. We will set the nets beside the car park 😉 Please avoid to park at the beach because the car can get stuck on the sand. If you come by car park as soon as you find space and then walk.
The idea is to have lunch at the beach and play beach volleyball. Please bring water, sun glasses (for the sand more than the sun) and sun cream (even when it's cloudy you can still get burned with the wind).
I would love to create another lovely healthy group to have fun with and enjoy the weather whenever it's possible. All levels are welcome because the goal is to have fun and do some exercise.
Any questions please contact me over the phone: 0876819433, or put a comment on this Meetup. Please bear in mind that on the same day of the event it'll be driving so give me a phone call if you are lost.
