Newcastle city centre outdoor venue set to transform into a festive alpine village

FRATE in Newcastle city centre is set to transform into an alpine village on Friday, December 1, as the venue gears up for the festive period.

The outdoor venue, which is just off High Bridge, now has a brand new fully covered canopy to protect customers from the elements of the North East winter weather.

Titled 'WINTERLAND at FRATE', the venue will be filled with Christmas trees, fairy lights, garlands, and more.

New DJs are set to fill FRATE with festive music to get customers into the Christmas spirit, while new food vendors will serve cuisine such as Yorkshire Pudding wraps, German Bratwurst hot dogs, pigs in blankets and Christmas-themed pizzas.

Booths and tables at WINTERLAND can be reserved for Christmas parties, along with a full venue hire also being available for exclusive events.

These can be pre-booked for parties between 20 and 250 guests during any day or time throughout December, excluding Christmas Day.
