It might only be August but plans are well underway for Christmas, with light trails, ice rinks and Santa steam trains already confirmed and booking up fast. And now, there's a chance to get your office party sorted as a brand new alpine-themed yurt village is coming to Manchester.
A 'one-of-a-kind' Christmas party experience hosted in a yurt bar and inspired by apres-ski will arrive in Manchester this December. Taking its cues from the snow-capped peaks of the alps, YurtBar will be popping up at Sale Golf Club this winter and is set to transform the grounds into a festive wonderland complete with roaring log fires, sheepskin rugs, and pine trees - and of course a 360-degree photo booth.
Founder Tom Sterne launched YurtBar seven years ago on the grounds of Moor Allerton Golf Club, in Leeds, and has since hosted pop-ups in locations such as Alderley Edge in Cheshire. Tom set out to bring a slice of the alps festive experience and cosy ski-party atmosphere to the UK by creating a Christmas party experience with a difference.

From here, guests can explore themed bars, dance floors and relaxation areas decked out with roaring log fires as snow falls, travel in cable cars and indulge in gourmet dining. During the night, guests will be treated to a three-course feast with dishes such as alpine cheese fondue and black forest gateau nodding to the theme.
