The 2024 Jesmond Community Festival kicks off on Saturday 4 May and one of the first events is the St George’s Spring Fete. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather, but if it does rain, there is plenty of undercover space in the church and church hall.
The Church Bells will be ringing from 11:40 am, with the event opening at 12:00 noon and lasting until 3:00 pm, with entertainment for everyone, include the Newcastle Allstars Steel Band, the Newcastle Concert Band, Irish dancers, children’s activities, toys, books, stalls of all sorts, displays, afternoon tea and Pimm’s.
The event will be opened by the Bishop of Newcastle, the Rt Revd Dr Helen-Ann Hartley.
