Tyneside Flats all Taken
All available places on the guided walks “Tyneside Flats to Tankerville” are now fully booked. Many apologies if you are disappointed!
Coffee and Cake in St George’s
A tempting proposition for every weekday morning in Weeks Three and Four of this year’s Festival is free coffee and cake in St George’s Church. Please note that the time during which coffee and cake will be served will now be from 10:30 to 11:30 am only, and on Fridays refreshments will be available from Friday cafe in the church hall.
Musical Teddy Bear Trail
The first opportunity for you to obtain an entry form for this year’s Teddy Bear Trail will be at the St George’s Big Friendly Coronation Gathering on Monday 8 May. The trail itself will be in place from Saturday 20 May to Sunday 4 June. After 8 May you will also be able to obtain an entry form from Jesmond Library.
Another walk fully booked!
John North informs us that all the places which were available on the walk “Tyneside Flats to Tankerville” on 25 May are now fully booked. There are still a few places left on the equivalent walk on 9 May.
Popular Seafarers
There has been strong interest in Keith Jewitt’s walks around All Saints Cemetery, and, unless there are late cancellations, the walk planned for 22 May is now full up. Fortunately Keith has agreed to repeat the walk again, on Bank Holiday Monday, 29 May, at 10:15 am. If you are interested in this extra walk, email info@jesmondfestival.org.uk as soon as possible.
Ring for the King!
The St George’s Church Bell Ringers have announced that not only will they be ringing for the King themselves, starting at 10:00am on Saturday 6 May, but between 10:30 and 11:30 am individual members of the public will also be invited to ring a bell. Places will be allocated on a “first come, first served” basis, and participants will be given a certificate to say that they have “Rung for the King”!
If demand is too great, it may not be possible for everyone to take part.
