A CHRISTMAS ‘sensation’ described as ‘the ultimate festive karaoke pop-up’ is now open in Warrington town centre.

Après-ski pop-up Bar Hütte is officially open for the first time at Golden Square Shopping Centre, with organisers aiming for it to be the ‘go-to spot for festive celebrations this year’.

Located in Old Market Place under the large canopy, Bar Hütte combines vibrant, cosy karaoke hüttes with wreath-making sessions and family-friendly events.

The event will run through to New Year’s Eve, with Warrington one of only four north west locations, with others in Manchester and Liverpool.

Whether a Santa or a Scrooge, there is said to be something for everyone to enjoy, from belting out Christmas hits to snacking on delicious bratwurst sausages, cooked over a coal fire.

Expect six cosy karaoke hüttes and an exclusive party lodge, perfect for groups of friends, families, and couples hoping to celebrate the season in style.

For those looking to get creative, wreath-making workshops will offer a chance to create a Christmas wreath by hand, accompanied by a glass of fizz or mulled wine.

Other festive activities will include the after-school club, offering free karaoke and cosy hütte time on Tuesdays during term time, and Kids Movie Mornings, screening Christmas classics like Polar Express and The Grinch in the lodge.

If that is not enough, expect an entertainment schedule packed with live singers and DJs, as well as a seasonal drinks menu featuring winter serves, the ‘Bombardino’, and Bar Hütte shot-ski.

Even furry friends are welcome to join the fun, with a dedicated Bark Hütte offering complimentary dog treats, photo props, and a doggy drinks menu to get everyone in the festive spirit.
