Celebrating Middlesbrough’s 200th birthday

In 2030 the town’s proud history and heritage will be at the forefront of a year of celebrations and events as Middlesbrough celebrates its 200th birthday.

Our creative sector is ready to make the most of this opportunity to celebrate our place and our people by bringing music, light, colour, stories and technology to our town in the run up to and throughout 2030.

Collaborating with our communities, this is an opportunity to reimagine our town not just with creativity, but through it.

Join us on the journey to Boro 200 and to making Middlesbrough The Most Creative Town.
