We are very grateful to all the event organisers, and to the organisations which helped to fund publicity for the 2023 festival, who include the North Jesmond, South Jesmond and Dene and South Gosforth Ward Committees of Newcastle City Council, West Jesmond Allotment Association, Jesmond Community Orchard, the Friends of Jesmond Library and the Elders Council of Newcastle. Some of our funding has also been carried over from previous festivals, and any surplus in our funding raised in 2023 will go towards future community festivals in Jesmond.
