Donegal‑born Leia Doherty to compete as Miss Derry in Miss Ireland final
Twenty‑year‑old Leia Doherty, who has strong family ties to Donegal, will represent Derry in the Miss Ireland finals…

A Christmas Fashion & Gifting Pop‑Up will be held at The Central Hotel in Donegal Town on Friday, 20 November, from 7 pm to 9 pm.
The pop‑up is organised by the Circular Fashion Training Course as part of the LEADER, DLDC and DCC programme. Around 30 tables and clothing rails will showcase pre‑loved and vintage apparel, handmade jewellery, locally produced gifts, bespoke items and services, as well as vinyl records for music enthusiasts.
Admission is free and the event is open to everyone, offering shoppers the chance to buy sustainable, circular fashion and unique Christmas presents while supporting independent traders in the area.
Proceeds will be shared with Solace Cancer Support Centre and the Bluestack Special Needs Foundation. A 50/50 draw will also take place, with half of the winnings going to the participant and half to the two charities.
Organisers encourage the public to attend, enjoy a relaxed evening of festive shopping and help promote a more circular approach to consumption.
