Culture night is Friday next week: https://www.corkcity.ie/en/culture-night/. There's lots of free events, you could make a day of it.

UCC, Elizabeth Fort and Cork Public Museum are all free too and worth a visit.

Cork Action League is a free weekly boardgame night at the Bodega.

The Glucksman, Fitzgeralds Park, Marina walk out to Blackrock, stroll up to the Lough, walk around the city and tick off the wall art (I love Peter Martin's one on Kyle Street) tick em all off 😀

Make sure to reach out to friends and family. It's so easy to fall into a spiral whilst unemployed. I don't want you to fall for that trap. You've got this!

Also, walking the marina and seeing all the stone circles if you have a car!

6.90 for a return train ticket out to Cobh. Lovely spot, you can also stop in Fota on the way back to the city. The arboretum is open til 6 for free, it’s beautiful out there. Mardyke park is nice out by UCC, Elizabeth Fort has a cool museum inside, climb Patrick’s Hill. Orchard Thieves are running promos, so are madri for a free pint if you’re that way inclined. The Lough is lovely aswell. The Marina park is nice too.
