Jesmond Community Festival Launch, Pop-up Cafe and Festival Craft Activity

Join us in Holy Trinity Church to launch the 2026 Jesmond Community Festival in style. This year is the 50th anniversary of the first Jesmond Festival, which was primarily a music event, including an open-air stage in the Dene. Since then the festival has changed, but we are delighted to celebrate the launch of this year’s programme of events, lasting almost a whole month! Today you can enjoy refreshments in our pop-up cafe, help block print a Jesmond Festival flag, and pick up a printed copy of the full festival programme.

Church members will be present, to show you around the beautiful Grade 2 * Listed Church, with its exceptional stained glass..
