Dublin Sketchers get together every Sunday afternoon in Dublin to sketch. We go to a different place each week. Check here before hand to see where we are off to. Come along if you fancy it! We start sketching from 2pm and meet at 4pm for a drink and chat. We are part of the global Urban Sketchers community.
Sunday 27th July - Iveagh Gardens
On Sunday 27th July Dublin Sketchers will be gathering in and around the Iveagh Gardens from 14h. There is lots of inspiration for sketching like the fountains, a rosarium, small maze and a water cascade!
In these gardens one can usually enjoy meditative atmosphere, or have a picnic on a sunny day. In summertime however it can get loud! It's a great place for live gigs and festivals. This is the case this Sunday - so please note that the only gate open for public will be from the Hatch Street.
Bring your sketchbook and pens, pencils etc! If it’s your first time out and you can’t spot anyone at 2pm, just choose something to sketch and get stuck in. Keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketchbook and say hello. It's a friendly crowd who you’ll get to know over a drink from 4pm. Don't worry if you're late, most of us usually are!
From 4pm, we will be gathering for a drink and to enjoy each other’s sketches at the bar area of Iveagh Gardens Hotel, 72-74 Harcourt Street (D02 Y282). A bunch of sketchers will magically appear.
Hope to see you there!

Sunday 20th July - South Docks Festival 2025 — St Andrews Resource Centre
On Sunday 20th July 2025, Dublin Sketchers will sketch at the St Andrew’s Resource Centre (114 Pearse Street, Dublin 2) as part of the South Docks Festival 2025 from 2pm, and meet for drinks at 4pm at the South Strand Wetherspoon (1 Hanover Quay, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin).
If it’s your first time out and you can’t spot anyone at 2pm, just choose something to sketch and get stuck in. Keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketchbook and say hello. It’s a friendly crowd who you’ll get to know over a drink from 4pm. Don’t worry if you’re late — most of us usually are! You’ll need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc.
From 4pm, we'll gather for a drink and to enjoy each other’s sketches at South Strand Wetherspoon. A bunch of sketchers will magically appear.
If you would like your sketch to be added to the website, email it to dublinsketchers@gmail.com or post it to the Dublin Sketchers Social WhatsApp group if you are on that platform. Please edit your image so that it is low res and properly oriented for posting to the website. If you are posting your sketch on Instagram please #dublinsketchers #urbansketchers
As part of the South Docks Festival, we’ll be putting together a small exhibition featuring sketches from this session. The artwork will be displayed at the Bank of Ireland, Grand Canal Dock from Wednesday 23rd to Friday 25th July. Afterwards, sketches will be exhibited for a few more days at the St Andrew’s Resource Centre. If you'd like to contribute to the exhibition, please bring a loose A4 or A5 sheet to sketch on — this will help us hang the drawings more easily.
Hope to see you there!
