Amateur film of children and adults on an outing to Northumberland. This film is one in a collection of films recording life in the Jewish community of Newcastle, made by five independent film-makers between 1937 and 1962. Group portrait of parents. A crowd of children wave to camera and jostle to get in shot. Parents and children swing on a log swing. Children eat ice-creams in front of the parked cars. Group portrait of children and parents, waving to camera. A small boy points towards the camera. Three young women hold piles of books, posing in a group with other adults and children. Children proudly display prizes they have received, such as balls and board-games, and then run happily as a group towards camera. A small girl with a white ribbon in her hair happily spoons something from a tin. During a staged first-aid demonstration (?), two young men in white SJA (St John's Ambulance) arm bands attend to a woman lying prone on the ground in a field, her head in bandages. One waves smelling salts at her nose, winking to camera. Campsite tents can be seen in the background.

Jewish children enjoy the warm Northumbrian sunshine as the rise of Fascism in Europe threatens peacetime.

As war looms in Europe in the 1930s, a wonderful Kodachrome colour home movie captures a carefree holiday in the Northumbrian sunshine for Jewish families from Newcastle. There’s no hint of troubles to come as children celebrate their new toys and enjoy free ice creams.

This film is one of two films in monochrome and colour that record a Northumbrian outing for children (although the location is unidentified), featured in a rare collection of footage by five amateur filmmakers active in the life of the vibrant Jewish community in Newcastle between 1937 and 1962.
