2024 JesFest
The 80 events which comprised the 2024 Jesmond Community Festival recorded over 12,200 attendances – although of course quite a lot of people attended several events, so there will be a lot of double counting.

At last, some good weather for a walk! This one was organised by the Holy Trinity Walking Group. to Edmondbyers, on 1 June.
Patience
The last of this year’s big Festival musical highlights was Jesmond Choral Group’s performance of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Patience”, with the help of the Priory Singers, conductor Jonathan Scott, pianist Julia Kennard and a host of guest soloists.
