Park, with support from the Foundation of Light, Newcastle Eagles, Red Sky Foundation, Silksworth Cricket Club, The Little Playhouse, Sleeping Teepees and East Herrington Primary School Choir.
A commemorative medal will also be presented to each child who completes the character trail, with this year’s medal being designed by Annabelle Rogerson of East Herrington Primary School, after winning a recent design competition.
Speaking about the event, the Chairman of Friends of Herrington Village, Brian Walsh, said: “Following the success of last year’s Jubilee Trail, and having received many requests to repeat the community event again this year, the heroes and villains trail was born.
