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.
The most favourite bear in the 2023 Musical Teddy Bear Trail was Amy Bearhouse, styled and dressed by Boilerhouse of Acorn Road.
Runners up were Teddy Bears’ Picnic, Ted Sheeran, Bear Necessities and Sting.
Today’s walk in Heaton Park, organised by the Friends of Jesmond Dene, benefitted from glorious weather.
(3 June 2023)
Make sure that you hand in your entries for the Musical Teddy Bear Trail to Jesmond Library by 4:00pm on Tuesday June 6. And there is still plenty of time to enter the photographic competition, whose closing date isn’t until September.
On Sunday 4 June, the last day of the festival, you can take the kids along to the Steam Train rides in Exhibition Park between 11am and 3pm, or you can go and watch the children dancing upstairs at Jesmond Pool (book at erinhdance@outlook.com ).
And this evening, 3 June, at 7:00pm enjoy Music for a Summer Evening with the North East Recorder Orchestra at the URC.
Many thanks to all the fabulous performers and event organisers who have given us such a great Community Festival this year!
