What’s at the Birmingham Christmas Market?
It has a mixture of wooden huts that are lit up with illuminated attractions and twinkling lights, perfect to get you in the festive spirit. It is great for shopping, drinking and eating, with an array of stalls for every food and gift imaginable!
What’s more, the Christmas market is great for family days out, as well as going with friends or colleagues on your lunch break or after work.
There are plenty of cashpoints around locally, and plenty of places to eat if you fancy going for dinner beforehand – such as Jailbird and Las Iguanas, as well as places to go for cocktails and drinks.
Birmingham Christmas Market in the Past
The Christmas Market gets extremely busy at peak times, and although it creates a wonderful atmosphere, some may prefer to walk around the stalls at a quieter time. Keep in mind that the busiest times are weekends, weekday lunch times (12 – 2pm) and weekday evenings (5 – 7:30pm).
