Come together for Collective Calling. Costa Women prepare for Christmas charity lunch and fashion show to raise important funds

Holiday season celebrations are getting underway on the Costa del Sol as local networks organise gatherings for a good cause. Members of the popular community group Costa Women are finalising preparations for a Christmas lunch and fashion show in Marbella, bringing residents together for a glamorous afternoon of shopping, entertainment, and charitable fundraising.

Organised by Anne O’Halloran Ryan, founder of Fair Lady Fashion, the afternoon takes place on Wednesday, November 25. from 1pm at Magna Cafe in Nueva Andalucia. Tickets are priced at €50 per person, with raffle proceeds supporting the incredible work of Collective Calling.

A festive market and musical welcome

Doors open at 1pm with a Christmas market where guests can browse stalls for those important stocking fillers and seasonal gifts all washed down with a welcoming glass of Cava.

Music follows at 1:15pm when popular group Phoenix Singers Spain take the stage. Comprising more than 22 vocalists, this non-profit choir regularly performs across the coast to support local charities benefiting both people and animals.

Fashion, fine dining and charity support

Style takes over at 2pm as Fair Lady Fashion presents its Christmas Sparkle Collection, offering occasion-ready outfit inspiration ahead of the party season.

Guests will then sit down to a three-course meal featuring shared starters, a main course, and dessert, accompanied by wine, beer, and water.

Funds raised from the afternoon’s charity raffle will go directly to Collective Calling, a Costa del Sol-based charity tackling homelessness in Spain through its mobile shower unit while supporting street children in Tanzania.

Spaces are strictly limited and nearly sold out. Anyone wishing to attend must message Anne O’Halloran Ryan directly to arrange advance payment, as bookings are only confirmed once funds are received.

If you are unable to bag a ticket for the lunch or fancy just a shop. Feel free to swing to Magna and enjoy the market, some Christmas cheer and maybe pick up a little something special for the festive season.
