Everything You Need to Know About: The North Pole
Celebrate Christmas in Newcastle with this unique festive experience
If you're looking for a unique festive experience this Christmas in Newcastle, you can't go wrong with The North Pole.
A community of cosy igloo pods located around Grey’s Monument, a trip to The North Pole is a must-do this festive season so we’ve gathered up all the info you need to make the most of it.
What is The North Pole?
It’s a collection of luxury igloo pods located on a raised platform around the plinth of Grey’s Monument brought to you by EVNT Inspirations, the same team behind the nearby Moosenwirt Alpine Bar.
The igloos feature tables and seating and a cosy, unique environment to enjoy food, drinks and gorgeous views over Newcastle’s Christmas Markets and Grey Street.
How long will the igloos be there for?
They’ll be in place at Grey’s Monument from Thursday 19th November up until Christmas Eve on Sunday 27th December, but will be closed on Christmas Day.
What time is The North Pole open from?
It’s open from 10am to 11:45pm with the last slot taking place between 9pm and 10:45pm.
How much do the igloo pods cost to book?
They're available to book for 1 hour and 45 minute slots and cost £40 during off-peak times and £70 during peak times (plus booking fees), but you can save a few pennies with The North Pole's Special Midweek Morning Meeting Deal when domes can be booked for just £20 plus booking fees.
Please note that the booking cost is non-refundable. To book, visit The North Pole website.
Can I bring my own food and drink?
You are more than welcome to bring your own food - perhaps something tasty from the amazing hot food stalls at Newcastle's Christmas Markets - but drinks must be purchased from The North Pole Festive Hütte which will be serving a full range of drinks from festive cocktails and mulled wine to prosecco and hot chocolate.
How many people can fit inside?
Each igloo pod can fit up to 12 people but they're available for groups of all sizes. Larger groups are also welcome and can book multiple domes – email [email protected] to enquire.
Are children allowed in the igloos?
Children are more than welcome and the pods are great for a festive family treat while enjoying a wander around the Christmas Markets or activities at the Christmas Village at Old Eldon Square, but after 8pm the igloo domes are strictly 18+.
The North Pole will be at Grey’s Monument from Thursday 19th November to Sunday 27th December and is open from 10am to 11pm. For more information or to book an igloo pod, visit www.moosenwirt.co.uk/thenorthpole.
