ContentsFRESH FROM THE PRESSIt would be impossible to look forward to this fortnight in Newcastle without focusing on the fact that this Friday finally brings the opening of the Great Exhibition of the North. I will certainly be watching from the Quayside as the fountain in the Tyne is switched on, and I have my (free) tickets booked to see Stephenson’s Rocket on Saturday too! I have signed up as a volunteer for the Exhibition, so I am greatly looking forward to starting to welcome our visitors from near and far to Newcastle to celebrate and showcase the North of England. One thing I am hoping for is some sunshine to enjoy all the amazing events that are going on in the city this summer – however as it’s nearly Wimbledon, I am not sure if my wish will be fulfilled! But whatever the weather, I will be settling down with my strawberries in an NE1 deckchair as we kick off Screen on the Green with some great tennis action - I can’t wait!

So pull up one of our bright blue NE1 deckchairs, bring your bag of popcorn and chill out on the green this summer! getintonewcastle.co.uk/ne1-events/screen-on-the-green
T hinking back to 10 years ago, it’s difficult to imagine how much Newcastle’s summer
events season would grow, into the relentless assault on the senses it is now.Kicking-off the summer season every year, the Quayside Seaside ‘pops-up’ in April, waking us from our winter slumber and reminding us all that yes, the drizzle will pass, the sunshine will come, and that we shall soon be sitting on the Quayside, toes in sand, gazing out on one of the most iconic riverfront views of any of the UK’s waterfront cities. It remains in-situ till the end of October so, even with our wonderfully unpredictable climate, there should be plenty of opportunity to pull up a deck chair and while away the hours.Next out of the blocks is NE1’s very own Screen on the Green which takes up its annual residency in Old Eldon Square with its packed programme of free film screenings and major sporting events such as Wimbledon. This year, and due to popular demand, the screen is in for nine weeks and there are 30% more films than ever before.As you would expect, Newcastle Pride is one of the most colourful and vibrant events in Newcastle’s summer programme and every year, continues to grow as a celebration of all things LGBTQ+. In a new home on Nuns Moor, this year’s event is set to be the biggest and best yet with performances from the Vengaboys, Alexandra Burke and S Club. As headline sponsors for the past five years, NE1 couldn’t be happier with the event and what it says about this great city. Not to rest on our laurels, the NE1 Newcastle Motor Show will take over the
city centre on the 4 and 5 August. With an expanded fanzone, more space and of course, even more of the world’s finest vehicles. Over the forthcoming weeks and months we will be releasing more details but be prepared to ‘set face to stun’ as we are about to drop some amazing news.With barely time to rest your head and recover from the Motor Show, Newcastle Restaurant Week starts on Monday 6 August. Running for seven days, Newcastle’s finest restaurants are already working hard on their menus to tempt you off the couch and away from the microwave for one week of culinary delights. Starting seven years ago with 13 restaurants, we now have over 100 participating restaurants so whether you’re a pescetarian, vegan, a fan of steaks or just really love a good spicy curry, we have got you covered. Remember, the event brings in over 50,000 people during the week, so don’t forget to book early.Oh, and to top it all off, this great city is hosting what is billed to be England’s biggest event in 2018; the Great Exhibition of the North. The event kicks-off on the Friday 22 June, and runs for 80 days, culminating in the closing ceremony on the 9 September, which dovetails nicely with the Great North Run.With a summer programme like this, the number one shopping destination in North East England, our famous nightlife and more restaurants per capita than any other city outside of London, why would you want go anywhere else this summer!

REMAKE A TAKEMake sure you get down to the Discovery Museum to step inside the movies linked with the North. From Blade Runner to Brief Encounter, our region has inspired generations upon generations of audiences and filmmakers. Go behind the scenes this summer with a whole host of hands-on activities based around these famous films. As part of the Great Exhibition of the North, visitors are invited to follow the ‘Remake a Take’ trail to hunt out a series of interactive film stills featuring scenes from the likes of Billy Elliot, Get Carter and many more.
ROBOTS – THEN AND NOWThe Life Science Centre is taking visitors on a journey into humanity’s 500-year obsession with robots this summer in an intriguing exhibition. This on-going quest to reimagine ourselves as machines is truly fascinating and will take exhibition-goers from 16th century mechanical automatons, to some unsettling humanoids that will make you question what it means to be human.
The Great Exhibition of the North is free to attend and will see our city sparkling with inspiring art, design and innovation throughout the summer months. Don’t miss out! For more info, visit: getnorth2018.com

The Hoppings 2018THIS FAMILY-FRIENDLY FUNFAIR HAS MADE HISTORY IN OUR CITY. POP DOWN FOR A WHIZZ ON THE WALTZERS OR A FLIGHT ON THE BIG WHEEL THIS JUNE!
We’re getting serious about summer in Newcastle in this edition! We just can’t help but get excited about all of the fun things going on in the city this season...The Hoppings is back for another summer spectacular bringing family fun and fairground rides to the Town Moor once again! The best-loved Geordie funfair first came to Newcastle 136 years ago as a counter-attraction to the boozy goings-on at the annual Race Week at nearby Newcastle Racecourse. In the following 50 years, the rides and attractions we all know and love today were gradually introduced to create what is now one of Europe’s largest travelling funfairs.
It’s back in the city for another year and we can’t wait to check out our favourite rides and some new attractions on the Town Moor. So gather your gang and get your umbrellas at the ready (because everyone knows it always rains when the biggest and best travelling funfair comes to the Toon)! Round-up the whole family and tootle down to the busy and buzzy Town Moor from Friday 22 until Saturday 30 June for guaranteed good times with over 300 rides and attractions in-situ! A diary date for the whole family - make a day of it this June! hoppingsfunfairs.com
THE MEANING BEHIND THE ‘HOPPINGS’Well, several origins have been suggested for the term. Most relate to dancing, while others relate to the clothing worn in the old days - often infested with fleas from the animals travelling with the fairground folk - people were often seen ‘jumping’ or ‘hopping’ around to get them off. The name may also derive from the Anglo-Saxon word ‘hoppen’, meaning funfair!
What's in the name?
