Jesmond Library has announced an extra event taking place during Jesmond Community Festival. The library will be holding a Book Sale on Saturday 18 May, between 10:30 am and 3:30 pm (or while stocks last). A mixture of ex-library books and donations.
Many apologies – the model train rides will not be operating on 5 May, as Urban Green are organising a food festival in Exhibition Park on that weekend. But do come along to the “Festival Special” train rides on Sunday 19 May.
Printed copies of the full programme for the 2024 Jesmond Community Festival are now available in Jesmond Library. If you are seeing friends or colleagues within the next few weeks, why not collect a bundle and help us spread the word, far and wide?
This year’s Teddy Bear Trail will have a sporty theme. The trail will be in place from 18 May to 2 June. Watch out for more information in Jesmond Library.
Once again the Friends of Jesmond Dene will be holding an early morning Nature Walk as part of the 2024 Jesmond Community Festival. The walk will commence at 4:30 am (yes, 4:30 in the morning) on Saturday 4 May. Booking in advance is essential. For more information, or to book a place, email friends.of.jesmond.dene@gmail.com . You can also use this email address to find out more about the activities of the group. They would love to hear from potential volunteers!
St George’s Church tell us that this year’s St George’s Spring Fete on 4 May will be officially opened by the Bishop of Newcastle, The Right Revd Dr Helen-Ann Hartley. As usual the St George’s Fete will be one of the first events in Jesmond Community Festival, and its launch will be preceded by the ringing of the Church’s magnificent bells by the St George’s Church Bell Ringers. The bells will sound from 11:40 am and the fete will commence at mid-day.
