Cocktails & Catwalks 2026
- Sunday 20 September 2026
- The Ebrington Hotel (opens in a new tab), Derry~Londonderry
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year's Vintage Fashion Show & Luncheon. Under its new theme, Cocktails & Catwalks, the afternoon brought together a drinks reception, lunch and a catwalk show, with every look found on the rails of our charity shops.
We were delighted to welcome actor and singer Bronagh Gallagher as our special guest and Foyle Hospice Patron, with broadcaster Sarah Travers as compère. Every ticket bought helps make sure specialist palliative care is here when a local patient or family needs it.

Shops Manager, Foyle Hospice
Jackie McMonagle is Foyle Hospice's Shops Manager, looking after our six charity shops across Derry~Londonderry, Limavady, Ballykelly, Strabane and Castlederg. Every week, she and her team of staff and volunteers sort through beautiful clothes, vintage pieces and unusual finds donated by people across our community.
Each year Jackie brings the best of those donations together for the catwalk, choosing the outfits and styling the looks that show just how much there is to discover in our shops. She has been at the heart of the Vintage Fashion Show for a number of years, and in 2025 she and the shops team welcomed our newest shop, in Ballykelly.
"For one afternoon, our shop rails become a runway."
"There is also a lovely story behind every outfit on that catwalk. Someone has donated it to Foyle Hospice, our teams and volunteers have given it another opportunity to be loved, and ultimately it is helping us raise money for Hospice care. Fashion really can make a difference."
Jackie McMonagle, Shops Manager
