Mike Hesketh, Co-founder of Moosenwirt, shared his excitement for the return: "Last year’s Moosenwirt was a phenomenal success, the Alpine Bar really added to an already great festive feeling in Newcastle’s city centre which meant it was crowned ‘The UK’s Capital of Christmas 2022’. It’s great to be back on Grey Street again and bringing back the Christmas cheer!

“This year due to the demand for group bookings, we’re bringing in a second luxury igloo dome as well as our Elk Lodge snug for private groups to book in advance, bang in the heart of the Christmas Markets.”

Nigel Holliday, Co-founder of Moosenwirt, added: “Moosenwirt is a unique venue where all generations of the family can come together for a sing-along, a hot chocolate or a sherry at Christmas”

“Speaking of mulled wine, this year we are extending our range and importing from German many more mulled wine options such as ‘Rose Glühwein’, ‘Strawberry-Vanilla’ as well as ‘Baked Apple’ cider”

Moosenwirt Newcastle will be open from 10am until 11pm every day, with live music from 3pm.
