The Tempus unveils its popular Winter Wonderland Tipi this winter- opening to the public from the 21st November 2025.
After a magical debut last year, The Tempus is delighted to announce the much-anticipated return of its Winter Wonderland Alpine Tipi - reopening to the public on Friday 21st November 2025.
Set within the heart of the Northumberland countryside, just a short drive from Alnwick, The Tipi quickly became a seasonal favourite in winter 2024, drawing locals and visitors alike for cosy evenings of live music, food and winter magic. Now, back by popular demand, The Alpine Tipi promises to be even more atmospheric, indulgent, and memorable for all the family.
Open every Friday and Saturday from 16:00- 22:00, the Alpine Tipi is open to all - whether you’re staying at The Tempus or just calling in for a festive evening escape. Families are warmly welcomed, and The Tempus is proud to be dog friendly, so no one has to miss out on the magic.
A Cosy Countryside Christmas Awaits
Inside The Tipi, guests will find a rustic alpine- style retreat adorned with twinkling fairly lights, sheepskin throws, and the comforting glow of roaring fires. The scent of woodsmoke and mulled wine fills the air, creating an instant sense of festive nostalgia.
Outside, crackling firepits offer the perfect spot to toast your own s’mores, sip hot toddies, and warm your hands beneath the stars.
Festive Feasting
As ever, the food and drink will take centre stage. The Tempus’ own pizza van will be serving up a menu of hand-stretched woodfires pizzas with a festive twist, alongside seasonal favourites like Pigs in Blankets, Baked Camembert, and more!
Whether you’re popping in for a tipple by the fire or settling in for the evening with friends and family, the Winter Wonderland Alpine Tipi offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere for all.
Chris Main, Estate General Manager at The Doxford Group said: “We loved seeing the joy the Tipi brought to our guests last year, and we’re thrilled to welcome everyone back for another magical season. Whether it’s a family evening, a festive catch-up with friends, or simply escaping the winter chill by the fire, the Alpine Tipi is all about creating moments of joy that guests will cherish.”
Festive Events
Beyond the Alpine Tipi, The Tempus is embracing the season with a calendar full of festive experiences throughout November and December. Guests can take part in wreath-making workshops, enjoy Christmas parties and private dining celebrations with colleagues or friends, and indulge in seasonal afternoon teas.
For those looking to make a night (or longer) of it, Christmas residential stays and winter retreats in the new Lakeside Cabins offer the perfect way to unwind in a peaceful backdrop of the Northumberland countryside.
