Cocktails and Catwalks Vintage Fair, Foyle Hospice

What to Expect

Foyle Hospice’s “Cocktails and Catwalks” is a fashion show luncheon and vintage fair held at The Ebrington Hotel on Sunday 20 September 2026. Guests get a sit-down lunch combined with a fashion show, in a fundraising format the hospice runs to support its palliative and end-of-life care services across Derry and the wider North West. Tickets are priced at £35 per person, and the event is one of a small number of set-piece fundraisers Foyle Hospice runs each year alongside its running and walking events. The vintage and catwalk theme gives the afternoon a dressed-up, occasion feel rather than the more informal format of a bucket collection or coffee morning, and it is aimed at supporters who want a sociable fundraising afternoon out as much as a straightforward donation. The 2026 edition is fronted by actress and musician Bronagh Gallagher as special guest, with broadcaster Sarah Travers as compere, and the afternoon combines a fashion show of clothing and accessories with a meal and entertainment. Foyle Hospice provides free specialist palliative care to patients and families across Derry and the wider North West, and the hospice notes that tickets for this event sell quickly, so early booking is strongly recommended.

Getting There

The Ebrington Hotel sits on the Ebrington Square site on the Waterside bank of the River Foyle, directly across the Peace Bridge from Guildhall Square. On-site parking is available at Ebrington, and the venue is a short walk from the Peace Bridge pedestrian crossing for anyone coming from the Cityside. Waterside rail and bus services also serve the immediate area, and Ebrington Square itself is one of Derry’s main event spaces, so the hotel is easy to find even for visitors unfamiliar with the Waterside.
