Booking for the guided walks is now open! Last year, several of the walks became full up well in advance – so if you are keen to ensure that you get a place, contact the relevant email address as shown on this website. There is Brandling Park, St Andrew’s Cemetery, the Town Moor and several walks in the Dene! Take your pick, but don;t leave it too long!
All the 75 events currently planned for the 2025 Jesmond Community Festival are now listed on this website. All the information will be updated from time to time, when added details become available. It may be that extra events will be added, and we will try to keep you informed of any late cancellations due to weather. Some of the Guided Walks require advance booking – we will let you know if organisers tell us that they are full up.
The programme for the 2025 Jesmond Community Festival is now almost complete and details of 2025 events will appear on this website over the next few weeks.
The theme of this year’s Teddy Bear Trail will be “Ted goes travelling”.

If you would like to host a teddy or help in another way, please pop into Jesmond Library and sign the sheet before Feb 21st.
