The countdown is under way to another of the annual highlights on Middlesbrough's cultural calendar. 

As Bonfire Night approaches, Cleveland Fire Brigade is anticipating a busy period marked by increased callouts, deliberate fires, and alarming levels of violence against staff. To ensure everyone can enjoy the festivities safely, we urge our communities to celebrate responsibly and attend organised firework displays where they can. 

The build-up to the spookiest night of the year begins in earnest this weekend with a feast of Halloween family fun in Middlesbrough. 

VISITORS to Newham Grange Farm will be able to take part in a Halloween adventure trail and spooky themed arts and crafts activities over the half term.
