Check out the big windows in Jesmond Library! Over the next few days different Jesmond organisations will be decorating them with special festival-themed displays, to celebrate this year’s Jesmond Community Festival. Here is the display prepared by Jesmond Community Orchard, with the help of children at West Jesmond School!
Craig from Jesmond Pool and Gym announces details of “Craig’s Fitness Challenge”.
Every day during this year’s Jesmond Community Festival you will find on Jesmond Pool’s Facebook page a new routine posted by Craig. Can you complete them all?
Says Craig: “For Jesmond festival this year I’ll be setting a challenge for all of May. All it consists of is “One minute a day, every day in May”, and will be posted on the pool’s Facebook page, getting harder every week.”

The Friends of Jesmond Old Cemetery have confirmed the arrangements for their popular Heritage Tours, which will this year take place on 15 and 16 May. On each day there will be five mini tours, each with its own guide, making a total of only 50 attendees over the two days. So reserve your place, by emailing friendsofjesmondoldcemetery@gmail.com as soon as possible. The two hour tours will start at mid day on each day.
All places on John North’s walk on 7 May are now booked, but John has kindly agreed to repeat the walks on Wednesday 12 May and Friday 28 May. If you like the sound of that event, you may also be interested in the Heritage Tours of Jesmond Old Cemetery on 15 and 16 May, or the guided tours of St Andrew’s Cemetery and Jesmond Community Orchard on 22 and 23 May. And of course, you don’t need an “in person” guide to walk the Teddy Bear Trail!
