THE latest edition of a what's on guide has been launched.

The pocket-sized directory features leisure, entertainment, culture and shopping options across the Tees Valley.

The Visit Stockton and Middlesbrough guide is a 52- page glossy magazine which will be distributed throughout the tourist information network.

Also included are detailed maps of the two towns, and a selection of discount vouchers for attractions including Preston Hall Museum, near Stockton, and Nature's World, in Middlesbrough.

Lisa Templeman, the Middlesbrough Council tourism support officer who led the project, said: "It's a great opportunity for us to work closely with the venues in the heart of the Tees Valley to promote to our visitors what we have to offer as two towns working together."

About 35,000 copies of the guide have been produced by Stockton and Middlesbrough councils in conjunction with the Stockton-Middlesbrough Initiative and visitTeesvalley.
