A recent open meeting of Jesmond Community Forum decided to start planning for a 2024 Jesmond Community Festival. The festival will start on Saturday 4 May and end on Sunday 2 June, unless anything happens before then to change our minds!
Anyone beginning to plan an event may like to know that next year’s Early May Bank Holiday is to be on 6 May, Spring Bank Holiday is 27 May, and 27 – 31 May is likely to be Half Term Week at West Jesmond School. Easter is comparatively early next year (Easter Sunday will be 31 March) and West Jesmond’s summer term is likely to start on 15 April.
Any queries about next year’s festival should be emailed to info@jesmondfestival.org.uk .

The closing date for entries to this year’s Jesmond Photographic Competition isn’t until Saturday 23 September, so you still have time to take photos on the theme of “A Different Jesmond”. You can obtain entry forms by emailing info@jesmondfestival.org.uk.
The best entries will be included in a 2024 Jesmond Calendar.

A message from John North……
Dee Pass and I led a walk during the recent Jesmond Festival. It was oversubscribed and inevitably some people were disappointed not to get a place. Dee and I are now offering a final Tyneside Flats to Tankerville walk in the hope that many of the people who failed to get a place first time round will be able to attend. This walk will be on Thursday July 6th at 5.00pm. Places are limited but anyone interested in the walk should email me at norths_2000@yahoo.co.uk and I’ll allocate places on a first come first served basis. As before there is no charge for this walk, but donations to Jesmond Festival funds will be appreciated.
