1/1 A TIPI tent bar and restaurant is set to return to York for summer - and Christmas. Thor's Sól Ást bar could be put up in the grounds of the Principal Hotel from June 18, with space for up to 250 customers and creating 60 jobs. Under the plans, the tent will be in place until August 31 2021, when it will be removed. It will return between November 10 and December 31. A statement says: "We feel that once Covid restrictions are lifted some behaviours and attitudes will have been changed permanently, namely a desire for table service, a hesitancy to return to packed venues, a new desire for access to outdoor venues, and a desire to enjoy the amenities of the Principal gardens.
