  • 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. Come walk with me and let's explore!

They are greatly appreciated. I can't wait for 'smell-a-vision' to be invented for all those treats you showed us. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

    If you like Birmingham and you want to stay and film a truly astonishing hotel.... Try The Grand Hotel on Colmore row and make sure to visit Madeline's bar and the Ballroom. Re-opened 2021 after an 18-year multi-million-pound restoration. The service is as good as the hotel is beautiful.

    How things have changed in England since I left 40yrs ago. Just a few light bulbs hanging over the streets and a nativity scene in the town with a Christmas tree. Shop windows were always dressed though. Birmingham really gone for it loved it but seemed expensive. Love the skating rink. Thanks for sharing

      My gran used to take us to Brum in 60's (bus fare 12½p return for her, 6p return each for us!).
      I remember seeing "the Black Church", St. Martin's and thinking it was the Devil's Church.
      Then I went back a few years ago, stood by Selfridges (the building with the metal discs covering the outside) on a new terrace, looking down on an unfamiliar Church, freshly cleaned sandstone, beautiful blue clock with gold numbers and hands, and realised with a shock that this was the Black Church of my childhood, with the centuries of soot and dirt and exhaust emissions scrubbed away.
      The old Bull Ring is gone, thank goodness, and a new shopping centre, a tram network and the rebuilt and magnificent New Street Station dominates an open, busy piazza.
      Stand up comics will still mock Brum as ugly, but they haven't been there.....

    I used to take a school trip here from Kent as a languages trip as the stall holders speak German and it was a way I could allow students who didn’t have a passport etc to immerse in German culture and speak some German. Great trip for us adults too!

    I'm from Birmingham, I live in Bournemouth so I've been to the Christmas markets in both towns numerous times, I've also been to Winchesters.
    All have their own plus points, Bournemouth's is beautiful with the gardens all lit up, Winchesters is in the Cathedral close and all that history gives it a wonderful feel but for sheer scale and the detail of the buildings erected for the market Birmingham's is outstanding.

    Friends in Birmingham love this one. Rochester in Kent is always nice with the Christmas Market 🌲starting 26th November in the shadow of the Castle grounds 🏰with traditional funfair rides and the Dickensian Christmas with all the Dickens characters parading the cobbled streets over the first weekend of December every year. Not on such a grand scale as Birmingham etc but still fun...although it does get really packed! x J x

      Can definitely recommend Rochester! A very historical town, with the castle and cathedral. The Dickens festival is full-on and the market is traditional, similar to the German markets. My go-to festive treat.
