The Dublin Theatre Festival runs until the 11th of October, so lots to explore in that one. There’s also the Dublin Festival of History 2015 until the 10th October and the best part is many of these events are free! There’s also a bumper crop of new releases at the movies and a few good gigs, with B. Dolan and the Hard Working Class Heroes festival, among others…
