Fans of The Voice UK are in for a treat as semi-finalist Molly J brings her powerful vocals and international musical influences to Diwali in Middlesbrough. 

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.
