I spent the weekend at Cheeseburn Sculpture, near Stamfordham, in the company of 2000 squirrels courtesy of artist Dan Gough. Last year Dan won the Gillian Dickinson North East Young Sculptor of the Year competition, and so was supported to realise his proposal and install it in the Cheeseburn Grange grounds.

This year there are 11 more artists shortlisted for the prize, and once again, the public have been asked to cast their votes to decide the winner.

Their proposals are exhibited at Cheeseburn in the Gallery and there are numerous other artworks exhibited around the grounds in the gardens and outhouses.

There were a record-breaking 530 visitors on Sunday, and the feedback was excellent.
