19th of October - Terenure
On Sunday the 19th of October, Dublin Sketchers will sketch at Terenure from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm in Brady's Pub, 5-9 Terenure Pl, Dublin, D6W TX40.
Terenure, a suburb in south Dublin, has a rich history dating back to the 13th century when it was known as Tir an Iubhair—“land of the yew.” Once part of the estates of the Archbishop of Dublin, it later developed into a Victorian residential area with grand houses and leafy streets. The area is notable for its artistic and architectural heritage, including the presence of stained glass works by the renowned Irish artist Harry Clarke, whose intricate designs can be found in nearby churches, adding to Terenure’s cultural and spiritual character.
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 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 Brady's Pub. A bunch of sketchers will magically appear.

12th of October - Rathgar
On Sunday the 12th of October, Dublin Sketchers will sketch in Rathgar, Dublin 6 from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm in The 108 Pub. D06 F6H9.
Rathgar is a leafy, affluent suburb in south Dublin, known for its elegant Georgian and Victorian architecture, tree-lined streets, and village-like charm. Originally developed in the 19th century as a residential area for Dublin’s middle and upper classes, it was once part of the larger Rathmines estate. The area has long been associated with culture and intellect, home to writers like James Joyce and playwright George Bernard Shaw. Today, Rathgar blends its historic character with a relaxed modern atmosphere, offering cafés, independent shops, and a strong sense of community.
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 need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc.

5th of October, The United Arts Club, 3 Fitzwilliam Street Upper.
On Sunday the 5th of October, Dublin Sketchers will sketch in The United Arts Club, 3 Fitzwilliam Street Upper, Dublin 2, D02 RR50 from 2pm and meet for drinks at 4pm in the bar area (on the first floor).
The United Arts Club in Dublin was founded in 1907 as a gathering place for artists, writers, and intellectuals, many of whom were central to Ireland's cultural revival.
It became a meeting point for figures of the Irish Literary Revival such as W.B.Yeats, Lady Gregory, and John Millington Synge, alongside painters, musicians, and political thinkers.
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 need to bring your own paper and pens/pencils etc.
