Alpine Tipi returns for festive season at Northumberland hotel
The Tempus hotel is reviving its festive Alpine Tipi on the Charlton Hall Estate near Alnwick. The venue will reopen next Friday, November 20, offering a seasonal retreat complete with roaring fires and twinkling lights.
Winter Wonderland Returns
Guests can expect the alpine-inspired space to operate every Friday and Saturday from 4pm to 10pm throughout December. The attraction welcomes families, dogs, and the general public alongside hotel residents.
Inside the Tipi, visitors find a rustic winter setting featuring sheepskin throws and fairy lights. Outdoor firepits provide a place to toast marshmallows under the Northumberland night sky. Live music takes place every Friday and Saturday from 5:30pm to 8:30pm, while food is served between 4:30pm and 7:30pm.
The menu is prepared by The Tempus’ Estate Kitchen. Options include Christmas-inspired pizzas, loaded chicken tenders, and roast potatoes. Sharing dishes feature baked Camembert and pigs in blankets.
Seasonal highlights include the All the Trimmings pizza topped with turkey, stuffing, pigs in blankets, and cranberry glaze. Another offering, Christmas Brie, O Christmas Brie, combines bacon, brie, and cranberry. Drinks include gingerbread espresso martinis, festive spritzes, spiced brambles, and Baileys hot chocolates.
