St George’s Spring Fete
The first day of this year’s Jesmond Community Festival enjoyed splendid weather, bringing big crowds to St George’s Spring Fete.
Plant Stall
A special visitor turned up at today’s Plant Stall in Acorn Road. The stall was organised by supporters of Jesmond Community Orchard, and as usual, was very popular!
Dawn Chorus Walk
An early start for the 2022 Jesmond Community Festival as Friends of Jesmond Dene (and friends) met outside the Jesmond Dene Visitors’ Centre for a Dawn Chorus Walk, led by Mike Cook. A very cheerful bunch, despite the time!
Jesus in Islam
A late addition to the festival programme, and one of the more unusual events in this year’s Jesmond Community Festival. The “Jesus in Islam” exhibition is promoted by the Islamic Diversity Centre, and takes place in Jesmond Library on 27 May (between 2 and 8pm).
First Heritage Tour Full Up
The Heritage Tour in Jesmond Old Cemetery on Wednesday 11 May is now full up. There are still a few places left on Saturday 28 May. If you are interested, contact friendsofjoc@gmail.com quickly, before that tour fills up as well!
The Bells of St George’s
Listen out for the Bells of St George’s Church, which will ring out between 10 and 10:30 am on Saturday 7 May, to celebrate the start of the 2022 Jesmond Community Festival.
