Foster Hill Road Cemetery Event Details

The Friends of Foster Hill Road Cemetery host a number of themed talks during the year, which are open to the public and always prove very popular.  The Cemetery records are available at the Chapel during the Heritage Weekend in September and an annual carol concert is held near Christmas.  Other events are held to mark special occasions.

Members of the Friends lead several guided walks during the summer months. Each walk is themed and covers topics such as the Cemetery’s spectacular graves, its history, its wildlife, tales of those buried there and more.  Walks are also included during the Heritage weekend.  The walks last approximately 1.5 hours and the pace is gentle.  However, the cemetery grounds are uneven so a pair of stout walking shoes is recommended.

We are also happy to arrange bespoke walks for interested groups, please contact us for details.

The times and dates of our events vary, so please see our events calendar for more details.

Sounds Familiar

Television in the 1960s, 70s and 80s  was very different from now.  Britain only had two channels in 1960, BBC and ITV.  Television in Britain was in black and white until 1967 and it certainly wasn’t broadcast for 24 hours.

If you remember programmes such as The Sweeney, Happy Days, Byker Grove and the Old Grey Whistle Test why not join Kevin Varty for a nostalgic look at the TV programmes during this time.

Warning – audience participation will be required in identifying theme tunes.

Refreshments will be available after the talk.  Although these are free, a small contribution to the Friends is always welcome.

The talk is free to Friends.
