Did you miss out on the Teddy Bear Trail, originally planned as part of the 2020 Jesmond Community Festival? Well, now take part in the Toffee Apple Ted Trail 2020. The trail is available from 24 October, until Sunday 1 November. More information is posted in the windows of Jesmond Library, where the trail route begins. There is no entry form, no fee and no prizes. And you can walk as little or as much of the trail as you wish. It’s all for fun!
We hope that you will take photographs of your favourite teddy, and of your family, as you take part.
