Christmas Market

This is one of the biggest markets of its kind in the UK. Each year the
German Market sets up its stalls in Victoria Square and along New
Street. A wide variety of traders selling crystals, glassware,
jewellery, handmade souvenirs, toys and a wide range of
festive traditional decorations.

Set out in a series of wooden huts stretching from Victoria Square
right down New Street, the customer has the opportunity to purchase
some unique and unusual Christmas gifts. Apart from the market there is
also a stage where live music is performed and a visit to the German
beer tent is a must.

Each year the Frankfurt Christmas market in Birmingham receives
around 2 million visitors. There are over 180 stalls. There is a real
Christmas atmosphere with mulled wine being served on several stalls

Much of the food on offer is German so there are plenty of grilled sausages,
German beer and gingerbread. Many stalls serve freshly cooked food each
and every day.
