Middlesbrough Town Hall has unveiled its new summer and autumn programme, packing over a dozen events into the coming months at the historic venue. The lineup ranges from tribute acts and folk music to family theatre and comedy, with tickets now available through the Middlesbrough Box Office website, in person, or by phone.
Summer concerts get underway this week, starting with a collaborative performance by the MTH Community Choir and North East Opera on Monday 6 July at 7.30pm, where tickets cost £6.50 including the booking fee. Just three days later, Jimmy Nail brings his Stories and Songs retrospective to the stage on Thursday 9 July, with standard entry at £40.50 and a limited Meet and Greet option at £88. The following week, Immersion Theatre Company stages an accessible production of Romeo and Juliet on Tuesday 21 July at 6.30pm, with tickets priced at £16.60 for adults and £14.60 for under-16s, before the BBC Proms arrive on Thursday 23 July featuring The Unthanks alongside the Royal Northern Sinfonia under conductor Ellie Slorach, with entry from £8.
Middlesbrough Town Hall combines its original Victorian architecture with contemporary facilities, hosting music, comedy, theatre and family shows throughout the year. Beyond the main programme, the venue runs weekly classes and is available for private hire. North East Opera, a group for adults who identify as facing social isolation including people who are or have been homeless, regularly performs there. The BBC Proms event is delivered in partnership with North East Combined Authority and Tees Valley Combined Authority, continuing a pattern of regional support for cultural programming in the town.
As the season progresses, September brings comic Gary Meikle with his Yer Maw show on Saturday 5 September, followed by Middlesbrough’s Class of ’86 on Thursday 10 September. Love Hurts – Rock Anthems and Power Ballads then closes out the week on Saturday 12 September.
