The BYO picnic is planned from 5.30pm in the playground area with the candlelight procession taking place at around 8pm. Bring along lanterns, candles or solar powered lights as well as any interesting recycled bits and pieces for the puppet-making. Just before Earth Hour a Pied Piper will lead the procession to the top of the hill where we can fly our flags of resolution and sing our hearts out as the lights around Newcastle are switched off. And remember, if you'd like to be a wandering minstrel or perform on the night, we'd love to hear from you.
