Moonlight, Sea Air, and Good Company: An Evening at Dollymount Beach. Singles only.
‼️[Tickets required](https://datingbar.ie/special-events/)‼️
🌕 A moonlit walk along **Dollymount Beach** with wide-open views across Dublin Bay. The Bull Island at its winter best, **lit by a full moon**. Cool sea air, steady footsteps on the sand, and moonlight on the water—an easy, natural setting for a night to remember.

Well… maybe it does. But that part is up to you.
**We write Chapter 1, YOU write Chapter 2.**
Along the way, you’ll get to know other singles through easy chats. A hot drink will be waiting to warm your hands. This isn’t speed dating, it’s relaxed, unstructured, and a little bit special. A chance to connect naturally, share a few laughs, and enjoy an evening that feels genuinely different.
**This event is for age group 40s to mid 50s. There is also a group for under 40s, starting at a different time the same day. If you are interested in joining, please see FAQ and the website.**

6v6 soccer, Wednesdays 8:00PM, SportsCo, D4
\*\*Each week we typically have 2-3 spots open to players from this app. This is why you will only see 2-3 attending. The others are regulars and we coordinate in a private WhatsApp group\*\*
We play a 6v6 game every Wednesday @ 8:00PM in SportsCo, Dublin 4. The pitch we use is spacious an ideal for 6v6 (ball/all bibs provided). To encourage passing and flowing football, goals can only be scored from inside the penalty area. Games are played in a friendly atmosphere and slide tackles are prohibited. We don't have stick keepers and use a last-man back policy. There is a core group of regular players who have played with us for years but we also invite a handful of pickup players to play from this app. If pickup players like the vibe they might have the option to subscribe on a longer-term basis.
This game has been running on the same pitch for over a decade. The games are good quality with good technical players and always played in a nice, competitive atmosphere.

Neon Ideas Night: Influences to Originals
Hi all, join us for our next meetup where we'll be heading back to the bar for another relaxed, idea-filled session - part listening party, part creative spark generator. We’ll continue sharing songs, bands, sounds, and textures we love to help shape our collective dream pop / synth wave direction 🎶
As well as that, anyone that has any original material of their own is encouraged to bring it along - that could be a chord progression, a synth patch, a guitar riff, a bass groove, or even a vocal melody - something simple that captures your vibe. No pressure, no perfection needed - just a starting point. The goal is to build from these fragments, inspire each other, and slowly piece together our own signature sound 🔊
We'll also need lyrics for any tunes we come up with so if anyone has any they'd like to use feel free to bring them, or indeed write some on the way 😎
Expect good chats, creative energy, and plenty of shimmering, reverb-soaked inspiration.
ELECTRONIC DANCE IMMERSION -ESPRESSO RAVE — (Supporting My Lovely Horse Rescue)
A sober Sunday afternoon dance party with electronic music — dance, recharge, and still be home in time for your Sunday dinner.
Dance your Sunday afternoon away at **ESPRESSO RAVE** — a high-energy daytime dance session with electronic music and great vibes, downstairs in Wigwam.

**Dancespace will be getting a shout-out on *Alive and Kicking* (Newstalk), Sunday morning, 22nd March.**
### Why Dance?
Dancing isn’t just fun — it’s genuinely good for you.
Music and movement together help release **endorphins and dopamine**, natural chemicals that boost mood and reduce stress. Moving in rhythm with others can also increase feelings of connection and belonging.
It’s one of the simplest ways to clear your head, lift your energy, and reconnect with your body.
Coffee and cake will be served upstairs — we keep the dancefloor for dancing.
### Espresso Rave
**Wake up your Sunday.**
**Dance it out.**
**Go home glowing with a total reset for the week ahead.**

Bad Girls Book Club April 2026
**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch**
**This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.**
In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse.
Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life.
It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge.
Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .
