Newcastle's winter Tipi Bar to return at Central Station.

Lazy Bear, Newcastle’s favourite festive pop-up, is thrilled to announce its highly anticipated return this winter due to overwhelming public demand. Set to reopen in early October, the venue is back with exciting new features that are sure to captivate visitors throughout the holiday season.

Last year, Lazy Bear attracted thousands of visitors who came to soak up the warm and lively atmosphere. This year, the team has stepped up their game, delivering an all-new design and layout that promises to elevate the Christmas experience for all. The iconic tipi, conveniently located near Central Station, has been reimagined with expanded space, offering guests a more spacious, stylish, and comfortable setting to enjoy the magic of the season.

For 2024, Lazy Bear brings an even larger heated outdoor area, perfect for groups looking to enjoy their drinks and food while staying cosy amid the winter chill. The venue, known for its charm, fire pits, and friendly service, has been a staple of Newcastle’s festive season, and this year promises to be no different. The outdoor seating now includes more comfortable options, with new decor to match the festive cheer, ensuring there’s no better spot in town to relax and soak in the holiday vibes.

In addition to the revamped layout, Lazy Bear will continue its tradition of hosting live music every night. With performances from some of the best local artists and bands, visitors can expect a nightly line-up that will bring festive tunes and lively entertainment to every gathering.

From festive holiday classics to vibrant live sets, the entertainment will create an unforgettable backdrop for festive celebrations. Lazy Bear has become synonymous with top-tier entertainment, and this year, they are ready to deliver more memorable nights than ever.

“Newcastle has embraced Lazy Bear in ways we could never have imagined. It’s truly become a Christmas tradition for many, and we are so excited to be back with an even bigger and better experience in 2024,” said venue operator, Ali O’Reilly.

"We’ve listened to our guests and made sure we’re giving them everything they love—whether it’s our fantastic live music every night, the new heated outdoor area, or just the overall festive atmosphere we’re known for. There’s something truly special about this place, and we can’t wait to share it with everyone again.”

Jon Healey, Station Development Manager, LNER, continued: “We are delighted Lazy Bear is back again this Winter, it is a fantastic pop up venue and a great addition to the Newcastle hospitality scene.”

Lazy Bear’s festive drinks menu will feature all-time favourites like mulled wine, mulled cider, and a signature range of hot chocolates that are perfect for warming up in the chilly winter air.

There will be no shortage of thirst-quenching options for those looking to unwind with a cold beer or a sparkling glass of Prosecco, not to mention a carefully curated selection of cocktails that complement the winter season.

Returning crowd favourites such as Guinness, Madri, and Cold River will be joined by the best local brews, ensuring something for every palate.

Whether you’re popping in after work, grabbing a quick drink between Christmas shopping sprees, or celebrating a special occasion with friends, Lazy Bear will have you covered.

Lazy Bear has also become a popular pre- and post-match destination, making it the perfect place for football fans to gather before or after Newcastle United’s home games. With match-day offers, it will be a bustling hub of excitement for Toon supporters all season long.

Open from midday until late, seven days a week, Lazy Bear Tipi Bar offers a festive haven for all. Whether you’re meeting up with friends, taking a break from the Christmas hustle, or simply looking to bask in the holiday spirit, Lazy Bear will be the place to be in Newcastle.
