“We are delighted to invite you to come and picnic in the beautiful grounds of NHSG Junior School as part of the Jesmond Community Festival. Bring a picnic and rug and some games and explore our little bit of the countryside in the middle of the city!
We are also offering the opportunity for your children to take part in a wide range of fun activities with football, cricket, mini rugby, archery and performing arts workshops all included. We will also be offering a history talk and walk in the grounds.
All families are welcome to join in, whether your child attends NHSG or not. This is a free event but booking is required. Make sure to book your tickets now, and spread the word: https://www.trybooking.com/uk/DKTJ
