Alpine-themed Bar Hütte is returning to Manchesterbigger and better than ever at Great Northern this year.
Fancy a winter reunion with private karaoke huts, festive cocktails, and a party line up?
After what was a sadly-cancelled run in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bar Hütte’s enchanting city centre village is set to bring all the festive fun we’ve been missing back to Manchester from 4 November, with both indoor and outdoor holiday-style chalets dotted right across Great Northern square.
The much-loved Christmas pop-up event will take over the current Great Northern Beach Club site and transform it into a “magical wonderland inspired by a ski resort in the Alps”.
Visitors will be able to step into an alpine winter haven that’s complete with cosy furnishings, twinkling lights, live music sessions, flowing drinks, and the all-important chance to sing your heart out in a private hut.
There’ll be prosecco, cocktails, and more brought to you by your very-own hütte host, all while you belt out Christmas karaoke classics.
The star of the cocktail show is undoubtedly the ‘Bar Hütte Bombardino’ – which is an unrivalled festive combination of hot rum and eggnog, topped with whipped cream and cinnamon, served in a Christmas cup.

Bar Hütte is also known for its legendary ‘Shot-Ski’s’ too, which is four shots of limoncello on an actual ski, so you can tip back together and head to the dance floor.
Fancy it then?
Tickets for Bar Hütte tend to be snapped up pretty quickly, but you can take your pick from either the ‘Cosy Karaoke Hütte’ experience for up to eight people – which requires a non-refundable booking fee of £60 to secure your exclusive karaoke use for 1 hour 45 minutes, alongside a complimentary welcome Bombardino.
Or if you’re hosting a Christmas party, then Bar Hütte has a VIP area that can cater for up to 20 people, with a welcome glass of prosecco and a Bombardino for all guests on arrival, and a two-hour karaoke session all for £150.
Bar Hütte will be at Great Northern from Thursday 4 November 2021 – Sunday 9th January 2022, and you can make a booking here.

Premier League Darts is confirmed to be returning to Manchester next year.
Now’s your chance to see the youngest world champion in darts history, AKA Warrington’s very-own Luke ‘The Nuke’ Littler, show us how it’s done, as next year’s BetMGM Premier League Darts lineup has just been announced this week – with various dates confirmed across 17 different cities in the UK and Europe.
And Manchester is one of those cities, as the AO Arena has shared that they are set to host an evening next April, and we couldn’t be more excited about it.
This means that we will be lucky enough to witness the biggest names in world darts all under one roof, including headliners Gian van Veen and Luke Humphries, as well as Littler.
Manchester is the only northern city to get the pleasure of hosting the event next year, as Liverpool is also on the lineup, as is Leeds, Sheffield, and Newcastle, while elsewhere in the UK, the stars will travel to Glasgow, Birmingham, London, and several other major locations.
BetMGM Premier League Darts is to be held on Thursday 8 April at the AO Arena in Manchester, and to avoid being disappointed, fans are advised to register for presale ticket access.
Following a successful season of events in 2026, tickets are expected to be like gold-dust, so don’t say you haven’t been warned.
To access the first wave of tickets, fans must become an active PDCTV Annual Member before 23:59pm on Friday 9 October. Alternatively, general sale is on Thursday 22 October 2026, but make sure not to hang about.
