Birmingham’s Frankfurt Christmas Market is back for 2024, celebrating its 24th anniversary in the city, and it’s set to bring even more festive cheer to the heart of the city!
Running from November 1 until Christmas Eve, this market is a must-visit for anyone looking to soak up the holiday spirit. Whether you’re after a bit of seasonal shopping or just want to warm your hands on a mug of Glühwein (that’s mulled wine for the non-German speakers), Birmingham’s festive favourite has it all.
What to Expect at Birmingham’s Frankfurt Christmas Market 2024
Located in Victoria Square and along New Street, the market transforms Birmingham’s city centre into a twinkling winter wonderland. Picture charming wooden stalls selling everything from handmade crafts to tasty German treats such as bratwurst, pretzels and gingerbread hearts. And naturally there’s the iconic Christmas carousel – perfect for adding that extra bit of magic to your evening.
The much-anticipated big wheel and ice rink are slated to make their appearance in Centenary Square, operating from 1 November 2024, from 10 am to 10 pm daily, excluding Christmas Day.
One of the best things about the market is the unbeatable atmosphere. With live music performances, festive lights and the smell of roasted chestnuts filling the air, it’s impossible not to feel the Christmas excitement. Grab a hot chocolate (or something stronger), and enjoy a stroll through the stalls, where you can pick up unique gifts like wooden toys, ornaments, and jewellery.
Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, the festive UK market never disappoints. It’s the perfect spot to gather with friends, do a little Christmas shopping, and enjoy some hearty winter food. So, wrap up warm, and head down to the market for a festive experience that’ll have you humming carols all the way home!
