🎨 The Turner Prize 2026 is in Middlesbrough! 🎨

MIMA Art Gallery, based in Centre Square in Middlesbrough, has been chosen to host one of the country’s most well known art awards the Turner Prize.

The work of this year’s four nominees is currently on display at the gallery for the public to enjoy, with the award ceremony taking place at MIMA on 10th December.

I had the pleasure of heading down on Sunday to see all of the exhibits, and it was honestly a fantastic experience. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone in the area head down to MIMA and check them out for yourself!

You can pre book tickets online, and entry to MIMA is free. 🎨

After some of the negativity Middlesbrough has faced in recent weeks, I think having the Turner Prize come to the town is such positive news.

Middlesbrough isn’t always associated with art and culture, so I think the fact that the Turner Prize has chosen Middlesbrough this year really highlights that we do have a proper art scene here.

It was also lovely to meet other people from the area who were speaking so positively about Middlesbrough and the great things happening here. It was brilliant to see people celebrating the town and everything it has to offer.

I’d definitely recommend heading down to see the Turner Prize, it’s honestly a great day out and something a little different to experience right here on our doorstep.

Let’s keep supporting the positive things happening in Middlesbrough.

UTB!

B&M is back in Middlesbrough town centre

Last Friday was the opening of the new B&M in the Hillstreet Shopping centre in Middlesbrough.

It's great to see another big brand back in the town centre , we also saw the opening of Boots on Wednesday.

I think it's really important we seen two major retailers back in the town centre hopefully we see more coming in the next few years.

I have also heard rumours that the M&S food hall could be returning to the Hillstreet Shopping centre, I have also being informed JD sport is moving from the Cleveland centre to the Hillstreet shopping centre.

My latest venture The Dating Club Teesside was featured on We are Middlesbrough last weekend💘💘

Please give my new venture a follow I would appreciate the support Xx

Meet Middlesbrough’s matchmaker 💘

Ahead of Valentine’s Day, Acklam-based, Chloe Tempestoso is playing cupid by taking dating offline with a series of speed dating events with a difference.

30-year-old Chloe created The Dating Club Teesside last September after becoming frustrated with dating apps and spotting similar events in Manchester and Newcastle.

The club offers diverse dating events for all ages and those who are from the LGBT+ community, providing a safe and relaxed space to meet face to face. There are often 60 singles at each event, where every attendee can enjoy 12 six-minute dates.

Chloe is proud to create something different in the town and hopes the events will continue to grow: “I set up the events in Middlesbrough, as I’m proud it’s my hometown.

“Sometimes there is a misconception that there’s nothing to do here, that you must travel elsewhere, but my events have shown there is a demand for speeding dating on our doorstep.

“I’m hoping the events continue to grow and I can host bigger sessions in the town.”

If you’re ready to meet someone new, the next Dating Club Teesside event takes place at The Nuthatch on Wednesday 4 February – book tickets 👇
