South Shields Girlguiding group hosting community open day to celebrate 55 years
South Shields Girlguiding HQ will host a community open day later this summer.
A South Tyneside Girlguiding group will open its doors to the public for an open day to celebrate 55 years in the heart of the borough.
The headquarters of South Shields Girlguiding on Westoe Road opened in 1971.
To celebrate the milestone the local group will be inviting the public to have a look around the site and learn more about the region’s history of Girlguide.
Taking place between 10am and 3pm on Monday, August 31, the event will offer the chance to see memorabilia on display as well as crafts, tea, coffee and more.
Guiders who have been involved in Girlguiding through the decades will also be in attendance.
No sign up is required for the event, which will take place on the final bank holiday weekend of the summer period.
The newly launched Girlguiding uniform will also be available to buy.
