At BrightSkills, we realise the importance of life balance and because of this, we're really enthusiastic about making the most of our spare time and our days off!  To help you get the most out of your weekends, we've listed our top 10 'things to do on a summer Saturday' below - hope you find them useful.  Enjoy!

1. Go for a walk on the beach - we dont have many months of the year when we can enjoy a balmy walk on the beach in Ireland.  Bring some sandals or maybe even your swimming gear (for the really adventurous of you!) and head to your favourite beaches!  Our favourites in Dublin are Donabate, Portmarnock and of course, Dollymount :) 

2. Go Rafting on the River Liffey! http://www.rafting.ie/Rafting.ie/The_Route.html

3. Have a BBQ & invite some friends - a great way to have a party and keep the house clean at the same time :)  Invite a bunch of your friends around for an impromptu BBQ the next sunny Saturday that arrives.  Lessen the hosting burden on yourself by asking people to bring something to bbq with them - this can be really great fun when you see what combinations of food people will put on a bbq - BBQ bananna anybody? (trust us - it's yummy with ice-cream and cinnamon!)

4. Go to the Zoo - especially great if you've got kids but fun for adults too, a day at Dublin Zoo is always fun.  http://www.dublinzoo.ie

5. Have a ramble around Dublin city - take a leisurely stroll around Dublin city centre.  Wander around St Stephens Green, have coffee in the Powerscourt Centre and finish up an afternoon with a cocktail in the Horseshoe Bar at The Shelbourne.

6. Visit Ferran Garcia Sevilla's exhibition at the Irish Museum of Modern Art which runs from June 10th to September 5th 2010 http://www.imma.ie/en/page_212198.htm

7. Go on the Sea Safari around Dublin Bay http://www.seasafari.ie/

8. Visit the National Leprechaun Museum - really made for kids but fun for adults too! http://www.leprechaunmuseum.ie/

9. Go see a live band / gig at your local pub / venue

10. Stay home, have a beer and read a book!
