Thousands flocked to the town centre in May as Orange Pip Market returned for its milestone tenth anniversary season.

The popular market transformed Baker and Bedford Streets on Saturday 30 May and brought together independent traders, musicians, artists and families for a sun-soaked day of entertainment.

This year’s special tenth anniversary programme builds on the momentum of Middlesbrough’s bid to become UK City of Culture 2029.

The next ‘Pip will be held on June 27 on Centre Square. Keep an eye on the Orange Pip Facebook for announcements!
