Check out the teesactive.co.uk website for details of all the facilities this place offers.

If you get a monthly gym membership (lots of packages on offer) all the fitness classes here, and at the Forum as well as the swimming pools in billingham, thornaby and stockton are included at no extra charge. Well worth the subscription you pay and it is reasonably priced unlike some gyms in the area.

This is a large club in Cockerton Village in Darlington. It is set back off the road and therefore…read morehas plenty of off road parking. It has a busy entertainment schedule with plenty of acts visiting and is popular with a wide range of ages. In addition to a large bar there is a huge function room which can be hired with a stage at one end and a bar at the other. This would be a great if you are expecting lots of guests, the furnishings in the room are nothing flash, pretty much what you would expect from a working mans club but I must say that the hall from the front door to the room is overdue a makeover and re-paint. The bar is cheap, my tipple, a double bacardi and coke is £2.40, much much cheaper than the town.

Middlesbrough Little Theatre is not called 'little' without good cause! It is quite a small…read moretheatre, and frankly, the decor has seen better days. The whole place looks a little tired and worn, but it is nevertheless a fantastic resource. I've been to a number of shows there over the years - mostly panto and children's shows. The facilities are ok, the prices are usually not too bad, and the shows are great. The car parking outside is quite limited, and it's not all smooth tarmac, quite a bit of it is just rough gravel. Overall, though, a good place to visit.

It's a very cosy little theatre but because it's so small not many big shows are performed here. It…read morealso looks quite 'amateur' inside as the decor is very old. I personally found the seats really uncomfortable, especially on my back but the leg room was adequate. Drinks and snacks are sold downstairs plus there's a bar upstairs. Ticket prices are very reasonable. It's fairly easy to get to by public transport, you just need to get a bus from Middlesbrough Bus Station.

As a smaller venue you can get really close and due to limited tickets you don't end up getting shoved all over. The bar here is also lots cheaper than somewhere like the Metro Radio Arena.

The reason I rate it though is because of the performances put on there, they're not productions with huge budgets but what they do have is talented actors. The main company to put on plays here is Durham Student Theatre who have the best student actors in Durham and put on some really innovative, unusual and sometimes controversial plays.
