    Programme of events 1988 - 2019 Welcome to the 31st Jarrow Festival Since its revival by Jarrow Councillors in 1988, the Jarrow Festival has gone on from strength to strength celebrating art, culture, education, sport and leisure activities and I know that this year's festival will not disappoint. We remain a strong, vibrant and close community, which is why we believe it is important that we continue to celebrate the Jarrow Festival every year and we hope that everyone will come along and support the many events. This year the Festival Finale will be a “Parade of Banners” from the Town Hall to Drewett's Park bringing together communities, groups and organisations from across Jarrow and culminating in a celebration of all the charitable and volunteer organisations and local volunteers in Jarrow and across South Tyneside . I am sure that despite the difficulties many of the community organisations have had this year that Jarrow Festival 2019 will be one of the most successful and enjoyable yet, particularly if we are blessed with some good weather. Roy Merrin (Chair Person Jarrow Festival Committee) Cllr Ken Stephenson (Vice Chair and Mayor South Tyneside Council) The Jarrow Festival 2019 would like to thank....... South Tyneside Council Best Wishes from Bede Ward Councillors Fay Cunningham and Margaret Peacock hope everyone enjoys the fantastic events which are taking place at our “31st Anniversary” Jarrow Festival this year.

  • The Way of Learning
    1 JARROW TO DURHAM Introduction This guide describes the pilgrimage route between St Paul’s Church in Jarrow and Durham Cathedral. All the Northern Saints Trails use the same waymark shown on the left. The route also follows Bede’s Way from Jarrow to Monkwearmouth, The Weardale Way from New Lambton to Durham and Cuddy’s Corse from Chester-le-Street to Durham, so those way marks will also be helpful. The route is 61 kilometres or 38 miles. It is the most urban of the routes with two thirds of the route on minor roads or paved paths, but it is a route full of interest. I have divided the route into 5 sections of between 10 to 17 kms in length. Points of interest are described in red. The primary focus for the majority of pilgrims journeying to Durham Cathedral in the Middle Ages was the shrine of St Cuthbert, but the other most notable person, whose tomb is in the the Galilee Chapel in the cathedral, is the Venerable Bede. It is primarily because of him that this route is called The Way of Learning. He was indeed a man of great learning, who is probably best known for writing the first history of England. It was called An Ecclesiastical History of the English Speaking People. His other talents included the fact that was that he was an accomplished linguist, an astronomer and he also popularised measuring time from the birth of Christ. During his long life of extraordinary scholarship, he wrote 60 books. There are other connections with the theme of learning, apart from Bede, along the route.
