Some of the most popular events in this year’s Jesmond Community Festival were the Guided Walks. A new event being organised by the Friends of Jesmond Dene should therefore be very popular!
It’s on 20 August, starting at 11:00am and ending about 1:00pm. The walk will follow the route taken by the Prince and Princess of Wales on this day in 1884, when they officially opened Heaton Park and Jesmond Dene. Suggested donation £5; pay on the day. There is a limit on places so please book via friends.of.jesmond.dene@gmail.com as soon as possible.
