The 90s-themed party runs on Saturday, October 24, from 11am to 4pm, with live music, games, roller-skating dancers, family activities, prizes, food, drink and special cinema screenings.

Catherine Furlong, centre director at Teesside Park, said: "It's fantastic to be celebrating 35 years of Teesside Park and to look back at just how far we've come since opening in 1991.
"The centre has changed so much over the years, with more places to shop, eat and enjoy a day out, and it's wonderful to think of the generations of families who have grown up visiting us and made Teesside Park part of their lives.
"We wanted to mark the occasion with a celebration that everyone can enjoy, and bringing back the 90s felt like a fitting way to do it.
"It's particularly special to have so many local schools and performers involved, and we're looking forward to welcoming everyone along.
"We'd also love to hear people's memories from across the 35 years – I'm sure there are some brilliant stories to share."

The line-up includes a 90s-themed ‘Big Sing!’ with schoolchildren, plus Mike McGrother and The Infant Hercules, Stockton Globe community choirs and The Funk Collective.
Visitors will also be able to try their luck across three gaming lanes featuring 90s-inspired celebrity games, while a claw grab machine will offer the chance to win prizes including LUSH Snow Fairy shower gels and retailer vouchers.

Roller-skating dancers will perform around the centre, and visitors can take pictures at selfie spots with a giant 90s boombox and a Transporter Bridge model.
Children can enjoy free face painting outside the Hello building from 11am to 1pm and from 2pm to 4pm.
There will also be craft activities, including making flags, bunting and paper shopping bags.
