Jesmond Community Festival

Jesmond Community Festival

SINCE 2005 JESMOND COMMUNITY FESTIVAL HAS BEEN AN ANNUAL SHOWCASE FOR THE WIDE RANGE OF COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES TAKING PLACE IN JESMOND. THE 2025 FESTIVAL WILL TAKE PLACE BETWEEN SATURDAY 3 MAY AND SUNDAY 1 JUNE.

All 75 events currently planned are now detailed on this website, although it is possible that some late changes will be made at a later date – so keep an eye on the news posts. If you have any queries, email info@jesmondfestival.org.uk .

We are very grateful to all the event organisers, and to the organisations which helped to fund publicity for the 2025 festival, which include the North Jesmond, South Jesmond and Dene and South Gosforth Ward Committees of Newcastle City Council, Bells Yard Regeneration Group, West Jesmond Allotment Association, Jesmond Community Orchard, Jesmond Residents Association, the Friends of Jesmond Library, the Elders Council of Newcastle, the St George’s Church Parochial Church Council and the St Hilda’s Church Parochial Church Council. Some of our funding has also been carried over from previous festivals, and any surplus in our funding raised in 2025 will go towards future community festivals in Jesmond.

The photographs below were taken during previous festivals, and show a heritage tour in Jesmond Old Cemetery, the St George’s Fete, and a winning entry in the Jesmond Gardens competition.
