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.
