Birmingham’s Frankfurt Christmas Market is a firm fixture in the city’s annual calendar and a massive favourite with both residents and visitors to the city from across the UK and Europe. Birmingham comes alive every winter with the arrival of the Market, a clear sign that Christmas is just around the corner. The stalls on Victoria Square and along New Street offer something for everyone.

The largest authentic German Christmas market outside of Germany or Austria Birmingham’s Frankfurt Christmas Market offers a large range of traditional good and gifts and a selection of tempting food and drink. Pretzels, schnitzels, bratwursts, and roasted almonds will tempt your tastebuds, all of which can be washed down with gluhwein, weissbeer (wheat beer), or tasty hot chocolate.

A great place to meet up with family and friends and enjoy the live music programme on Victoria Square. And whilst you’re here why not pick up some presents for your family and friends with everything from handcrafted wooden decorations and delicate glass baubles to in the form of the ever-favourite crystal lamps, Sounds of Nature, hand-crafted leatherwork, toys, jewellery and much more besides!

Once you have bagged all your handmade stocking fillers and refilled your mulled wine deficiency, its now time to head into Digbeth, which is only an 8 minute walk from the Frankfurt Christmas Market. Your next stop is The Floodgate on Floodgate Street. You will have a vast array of Christmas inspired cocktails, hot mulled wines & ciders to name a few. Hopefully you are hungry from all of your shopping so head over to our Hotdog station where we may have a festive surprise for you, did someone say Turkey Stuffing HotDog?, yes please.

Now time to choose your game, Baseball & PitPat Table Golf are all very popular all year round but Curling seems to the winner during the winter months. Good news is CurlClub is not on ice so no need to be cold. We also have indoor and outdoor options for that extra Christmasy feel. (perfect for a date).

Once you have played till your hearts content with a full belly and full head of christmas memories its now time to get home and get to bed before Santa arrives down the chimney. Have you been good this year?

Best Birmingham Christmas Ever!
