As part of Jesmond Community Festival, our annual Open Day takes place on Saturday, 9 May from 1.00 until 4.00 p.m. There’ll be crafts and games for all, including, story-telling, the famous snail races, music from the fabulous Storytellers Band, the Environment Agency’s fascinating display and perhaps some surprises! Of course there’s also the relaxing alternative of just enjoying the Orchard in blossom.
