Things to do in Dublin????

boopy · 2008-09-23 11:53:26

I'm a Dub, and still living here... but I was just having a discussion with my mate about how there is NOTHING to do in Dublin that is non drink related (that I know of) Can anyone give me any ideas of fun things to do where I wont get fed up and just head to the pub as I usually do?? Like any cool flea market, etc....?…

Are you having a laugh????

There are countless musuems, bus tours, splash tours, rock n roll bus tour, ghost bus tour, wax museum, countless community groups covering sports and other activities, boards drama group (see my sig! ) theatres (some of which dont sell alcohol), cinemas, the zoo, walking in phoenix park or along one of the strands. There are flea markets all over Dublin at weekends.

Need i go on???

anyone know of any book clubs or anything like that? I'm in Dublin but not starting work for another 2 weeks and the boredom is killing me. I'm not saying there's nothing to do in Dublin, just noone to do anything with as everyone's working.

If anyone's looking for a place to meet people and have a bit of waffle about the world around them - you could do worse than check out the Global Issues courses.

They're on at 4 colleges in Dublin, and also in Cork, Galway and Belfast - starting next week. The first one's always the best, it's a general intro to Development.

I hope this doesn't count as spamming, since I work for Suas, but hey they definitely count as something to do in Dublin and it's dirt cheap (funded by Irish Aid!)

I know just what you mean! Dublin can be ****e - problem is there's plenty to do, but since we all live here - we just can't think of anything or have done it already. I'd say it would be the same if we lived anywhere else.
