As part of the Jesmond Community festival, local bead store LeBeado has been putting on beading classes for up to eight people. Last Saturday JesmondLocal paid a visit to find the shop full of young children and their parents, scanning the vast selection of beads and hand crafting their own jewellery under the guidance of friendly staff.

One mother described the boutique as, “lovely, like a sweet shop.” There is another class next Saturday 20th March – book now on 0191 239 9009 to avoid disappointment.
