Thor’s Tipi could become a yearly fixture in York’s Museum Gardens but more certainty is needed to secure its pitch long-term, its operator has said.

The pop-up bar has returned for a second year following its successful debut in its winter location in front of the Gardens’ Multangular Tower in 2023.

Thor’s application to operate the venue this year stated difficulties in securing a long-term contract with York Museums Trust made it impossible to guarantee its future.

It comes as the venue in Museum Gardens opened on Friday, October 25 and it is set to run until Tuesday, December 31.

The Viking-themed Tipi features a bar, food and seating around fire pits, along with live music on Thursdays and Sundays.

An application lodged for the venue this year stated that it offered visitors to the city centre, including its upcoming Christmas Market, a place to rest and enjoy a drink.

The pop-up bar has also helped to draw more visitors into the Gardens and to the Yorkshire Museum during the quieter winter months.
