What's On
Public Enemies
Johnny Depp & Christian Bale starMiami Vice creator Michael Mann's period films always invite curiosity, not least because Mann seems so at home with gleaming urban crimescapes as in Heat. So an attempt to tackle depression era gangster John Dillinger and the G-Man out to collar him should prove irresistible, not least because it pits Johnny Depp against Christian Bale. Most cinemas from Friday 3rd July. -- David Perilli, Cinema Editor
Jazz Jam
Cooking up a stormThe regular Monday night 'jam' sessions at the Cricketers go from strength to strength under trumpeter Paul Stubb's aegis. Even as we head into a full blown summer heatwave the band has been cooking up a storm lately. Drawing an excellent rhythm section from committed local pro and semi-pro players, fronted by a mix of keen regulars and young talent, for the price of a pint you can enjoy the spectacle in this friendly backstreet local. Highly recommended. -- David Ellingham, Jazz Editor

Independent´s Day
A positive plethora of the heartfelt and loudOn Saturday 4th July there's an Independent's Day (geddit?) at The Portland Arms featuring a positive plethora of hardcore, noise-core, punk and general guitar-based noise of the loud and heartfelt variety. With 12 bands playing between 2 - 11pm for between £10 - £13 (earlier arrival = cheaper doors) it sounds quite unmissably bargainous... -- Holly Davies, Gigs Editor

Sculpture at Jesus
In the grounds of Jesus CollegeYou can't fault a stroll through the college gardens in summer, but a new outdoor exhibition at Jesus College makes it even more appealing. Combining new sculptures and installations with key works from major artists Antony Gormley, Anthony Caro, and Anselm Kiefer, this exciting exhibition shouldn't be missed. 22nd June - 28th Sept, Admission to College grounds runs from 10am-8pm -- Fiona Scoble, Art Editor

Jesus Green Lido
Take the Plunge!Summer in Cambridge just wouldn't be the same without slipping on the swim suit, slapping on the sun cream and taking the plunge at Jesus Green lido. At 100 yards it is one of the longest outdoor swimming pools in Europe. Despite being almost 100 years old and badly in need of an overhaul it remains one of the jewels in the crown of any Cambridge summer. Open until 12th Sept -- Rob Coe, Sports Editor

King Lear
At Wandlebury Country ParkShakespeare's turbulent and mesmerising tragedy King Lear comes to Wandlebury Country Park from Thurs 2nd to Sat 11th July, taking the form of a walkaround performance through the woodland and meadows of Wandlebury, mapping its hero's journey from civilization to destitution. Let's just hope the weather doesn't get too involved in the storm scenes. No seating - bring a cushion or folding chair. -- Fiona Scoble, Theatre Editor
