Cuter than, say, a tiny ladybird trundling across a flower? We will find out this month as the winners of the North East Wildlife Photography Awards are announced at Great North Museum: Hancock. More than 1,600 photos were entered this year and you can see the shortlisted entries, meet the photographers and find out who has won at the free awards event on July 9. As well as a preview of the exhibition, the awards event will feature a talk from BBC naturalist George McGavin. An exhibition of the winning images will run until September 27. Great North Museum: Hancock, July 9, free northeastwildlifephoto.co.uk ALL BAA NONE With material veering from the staunchly political to the wildly silly, you never know what you’re going to get with the Canadian comic Glenn Wool. The title of his work-inprogress show doesn’t give much away either: Creator, I Am But A Pawn could be a work of religious soul searching or a rant about chess. Either way, you’re assured a good time thanks to his caustic humour and theatrical charm. The Stand July 14, £10 thestand.co.uk 4 WWW.GETINTONEWCASTLE.CO.UK ARE WE SITTING COMFORTABLY? Having been closed for a refurb, the Centre for Children’s Books reopens with a fab line-up of exhibitions for book-loving youngsters.

Northern Stage July 30 £5, northern stage.co.uk WWW.GETINTONEWCASTLE.CO.UK 7 TRY THIS TRY THIS SPLASH! Step into the belly of a whale at BALTIC with a new exhibition aboard a 71ft container built to reimagine ‘the longest lorry in the world’ used in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s to transport a preserved whale around Europe. Fiona Tan’s Depot reimagines the journeys of Jonah The Giant Whale, a massive blue whale caught in Norwegian waters in 1952 which caused a sensation across Europe. Google tells us the whale’s remains are in a warehouse somewhere in Germany, perhaps Belgium - there is some debate - so Tan’s container is instead filled with curiosities and a film installation offering an insight into Newcastle’s whaling history. BALTIC, July 10-November 1, free balticmill.com LOOK INTO MY EYES Given the name of Rob Temple’s show, Live & Outrageous, you can be certain that the controversial hypnotist will provide a noholds barred performance.

Drawing with Scissors features lithographic prints of exuberant cut-outs produced in the last four years of Matisse’s life, and includes iconic images such as The Snail and the Blue Nudes (pictured). The lithographic reproductions in this exhibition are from a special double issue of Verve, a review of art and literature published in 1958. The show focuses on the brilliant final chapter of Matisse’s long career. ‘There is no gap between my earlier pictures and my cut-outs,’ Matisse wrote. ‘I have only reached a form reduced to the essential through greater absoluteness and greater abstraction.’ University Gallery, July 18-Sept 11, free northumbria.ac.uk/universitygallery getintonewcastle.co.uk WWW.GETINTONEWCASTLE.CO.UK 11 MONUMENT MOVIES NE1 MONUMENT MOVIES IS BACK!

The main event takes place on the Town Moor, with stalls and themed zones including a cabaret tent, women’s area and a family and youth zone, and a main stage which this year hosts local acts alongside pop superstars. The festival site is open 6.45pm-9.15pm on Friday, noon7pm on Saturday and 1pm-8pm Sunday and once the park closes you can continue with the party in the city with special events at a number of venues. Friday July 17 The weekend kicks off with the Northern Frontrunners’ LGBT 5K, where drag queens will line up with elite athletes for a fundraising run (register online at www.northernfrontrunners.co.uk). The Town Moor stage will then host Dale Ali, Jamie Lee Harrison and Abba Girlz. Saturday July 18 Hoping to top last year’s record attendance of 7,000, the Pride parade starts at noon at the Civic Centre. This year’s theme - One Love, 45 Years of World Pride - calls for fancy dress, bright colours and lots of noise. Over at the Town Moor, the finishing point for the parade, doubledenim-sporting Irish girl group B*Witched will be joined by X Factor finalists Lucy Spraggan and Kitty Brucknell, British/ Belgian pop duo DeltAmour, and local talent including Annabel Patterson, Cortney Dixon and Drag Idol 2015 winner, Gucci Gabore.

The event closes with a candlelit vigil from 9pm at the Civic Centre. Town Moor, July 17-19, northern-pride.org 20 WWW.GETINTONEWCASTLE.CO.UK PRIDE 2015 with Newcastle-based stencil artist idA4, AKA Chris Fleming B*Witched Belinda Carlisle The whole city enjoys Pride - one of its great successes is that straight people celebrate too. I’m a 36-year-old man, in a loving relationship with fantastic family, amazing friends, and living in a country that legally recognises me, protects me and gives me equal rights, but it’s not that long since I would have been imprisoned, and definitely not interviewed or given an opportunity to exhibit my work. Pride stems from people saying ‘I won’t take this’, and because we can celebrate, we should. There are people who don’t have that opportunity. I know what I feel, I know that being gay is real and not a choice, so I can’t imagine what it must be like to not be able to be yourself. Pride sends a message of hope to others, to show people that they’re not alone. For me, being involved in Northern Pride is as much about the Northern as the gay bit - this region is class, and ours is one of the only free Prides of this size, so everyone should have a good time, be proud of Newcastle and its gay community. I’ve got an exhibition on so I’ll be in the gallery every day over the weekend - apart from when Belinda Carlisle’s on - I ain’t missing that!
