St George’s Church will be linking the launch of this year’s Jesmond Community Festival on 3 May with a Big Friendly Gathering to mark 80 years since Victory in Europe (VE Day). There will be a fabulous range of entertainment for all the family, from the memories of World War Veterans and 1940’s songs with the Darling Dollies to Face Painting and Children’s activities, plus Cream Teas, Ice Cream and Pimm’s.
Plus find out more about this year’s Teddy Bear Trail and other festival events at the community stall.
Following the ringing of the Church Bells from 1:30 pm the big event starts at 2:00 pm and will be finished by 5:00 pm.
