Our climbing group have been going to Rock Antics for years, staying with them through their several changes. Now they are based in Middlesbrough and provide a no-frills, but plenty of thrills, bouldering venue, along with some nice top roping walls for beginners and school groups. The good thing about Rock Antics is the quality of the routes that they put up, well thought out and providing interesting problems. The setters make sure that there is a good choice of problems for people at all stages of their climbing. The holds are good, and the routes are changed regularly so that we don't get bored...or too used to the climbs. The staff are great, friendly and efficient. You can get hot drinks and snacks. Have a good climb!

Middlesbrough Theatre was opened by Sir John Gielgud in 1957 and was one of the first new Theaters built in England after the Second World War. This intimate 484-seat venue has a growing reputation for providing a wide range of quality professional and amateur entertainment - from popular musicals to modern drama and from celebrity nights to family shows.

The Little Theatre now renamed Middlesbrough Theatre is a great little venue. Just unfortunate since the refurb the huge sign outside reads "MT Middlesbrough Theatre"! This year's Dick Whittington panto was fantastic, we really enjoyed it. The sets and costumes were superb....infact everything was - the jokes, the characters, the banter, choreography. Hadn't seen a panto for years but we've realised that it's a great thing to go to between Xmas and New Year and it's walking distance to my mum's so we should, and will, go more often. Highly recommended!
