Open-Night for amateurs??

In Dublin ...

Is there any such thing as an "open night" where fathers/sons can go along to view the sky thru powerful telescopes ... also some guidance given as to where to look etc.

I am sure this sort of open-night was run by some astronomy club or something??

Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Check out this group -

And also this forum - http://www.irishastronomy.org/

Which has announcements for meetups regularly enough.

The site is being redone, and drops off periodically these past few weeks.
