Murder is on the menu in La Marina this November, but thankfully it is all in the name of a good cause. Local theatre group Stagestruck will challenge amateur detectives to solve its latest mystery at Cafeina Coffee & Cocktails, with the afternoon raising money to support DEBRA and its specialist nursing team.

Stagestruck brings murder mystery to La Marina

Cafeina Coffee & Cocktails will host an afternoon murder mystery on Thursday, November 19, performed by local theatre group Stagestruck.

The fun begins at 2:00 PM, when guests will be able to put their detective skills to the test and see if they can work out whodunnit.

The murder mystery promises an afternoon of clues, suspects and, no doubt, a few red herrings along the way as Stagestruck sets its latest mystery for the audience to solve.

€15 tickets include a light buffet

Tickets cost €15 per person and include a light buffet, with all money raised from the event going to DEBRA to help fund its nursing team.

As well as providing an afternoon of entertainment, the event will give people in La Marina an opportunity to support the charity’s work with families living with a rare and challenging genetic condition.

Tickets are available from Cafeina and the DEBRA Charity Shop in Urbanisation La Marina.

Fundraiser supports DEBRA nursing team

DEBRA supports people living with epidermolysis bullosa, commonly known as Butterfly Skin, a rare genetic condition which makes the skin extremely fragile.

Its specialist nurses provide support and advice to families affected by the condition across Spain.

Money raised through the murder mystery will help fund this nursing team, combining a community afternoon out with practical support for DEBRA’s work.

Amateur detectives invited to solve mystery

Cafeina Coffee & Cocktails can be found at Calle Luis de Gongora, Sector VI-VII, Local 43-44, La Marina.

With a light buffet included, guests will be able to settle in for an afternoon of suspects and clues while trying to uncover the culprit before the mystery is revealed.

Bigastro residents are being encouraged to step out together in support of the fight against cancer when the town’s annual Cancer March returns on Sunday, October 25. Now in its 12th year, the event will combine a community walk with workshops and a charity raffle, raising funds for cancer research and support for patients and their families.

Cancer March begins at 10:30 AM

Bigastro will once again turn out in support of the fight against cancer when the town holds its 12th annual Cancer March on Sunday, October 25.

Organised by the local Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC), the event begins at 10:30 AM from the Huerto del Cura Park. Participants will follow a route through Bigastro before returning to the park for further activities.

The €10 registration fee includes the official event T-shirt, a bottle of water, nuts and other items.

Registration remains open until October 25

Registration remains open until October 25, while those already signed up can collect their T-shirts from the AECC office at Calle Mayor 5 between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM.

Funds raised will support cancer research and the AECC’s work assisting patients and their families throughout diagnosis and treatment.

The annual march gives residents an opportunity to show their support together while helping raise money for the organisation’s continuing work.

Charity raffle supports cancer fundraising

A charity raffle will also form part of the event, with prizes donated by local businesses.

Tickets cost €1 and are available from the AECC office and participating businesses around Bigastro.

After the walk, activities will continue at the Huerto del Cura Park with workshops and the raffle, extending the event beyond the morning’s route through the town.

Bigastro residents encouraged to take part

AECC Bigastro president Jose Julian Martinez said the event continues the successful format of previous years.

Mayor Teresa Belmonte has also encouraged residents to participate, highlighting the importance of cancer research and community support.

Now reaching its 12th edition, the Cancer March continues to bring Bigastro together around a shared cause while raising funds to support research and people affected by cancer.

A charity evening of mediumship in Playa Flamenca will raise money to help abandoned and mistreated animals cared for by Finca La Castellana Animal Welfare Centre. Spiritual medium Ang Ham will host the event at Willow Cafe on Thursday, October 29, with proceeds supporting a rescue centre that has helped more than 3,000 animals since opening.

Ang Ham hosts charity mediumship evening

Spiritual medium Ang Ham will host a charity evening of mediumship at Willow Cafe in Playa Flamenca on Thursday, October 29, raising money for Finca La Castellana Animal Welfare Centre.

Doors open at 7:00 PM, with the demonstration running from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Tickets cost €15, with booking recommended.

Ang Ham promises to bring messages from the spirit world. Whether visitors hope for a message from a loved one or are simply curious about mediumship, the demonstration offers an opportunity to experience spiritual connections.

Fundraiser supports Finca La Castellana animals

The beneficiary, Finca La Castellana, is a non-profit animal charity based near San Miguel de Salinas. It began rescuing animals in 2000 and became a registered charity in 2009. More than 3,000 animals have since passed through its gates.

The centre rescues animals that have been abandoned, mistreated or dumped. Some animals with health or behavioural problems remain permanently at the finca when rehoming is not considered suitable.

This means the charity not only helps animals while new homes are sought, but also provides continuing care for those unable to be rehomed.

Animal centre needs more than €3,000 monthly

Running the centre requires more than €3,000 each month for food, veterinary treatment, animal care and other costs, making fundraising events an important source of support.

Events such as the Playa Flamenca mediumship evening give local residents another way to contribute towards those ongoing costs while supporting the centre’s animal welfare work.

Tickets available from Willow Cafe

The mediumship evening takes place at Willow Cafe, Carrer Alhelies, Playa Flamenca, 03189.

To reserve tickets, call Helen on (+44) 7793 141160. Tickets can also be purchased behind the bar.
