More information on the Christmas market

Held annually, this market is a tell-tale sign that Christmas is coming, with its iconic German style stalls, tasty food and drink offerings, and festive lights twinkling away enough to instil cheer in even the firmest of humbugs.  

With stalls lining New Street and bursting out onto Victoria Square, Birmingham’s Frankfurt Christmas Market is known to be the largest authentic market outside of Germany and Austria – and the best part is you don’t have to fly there, you can go by bus instead. 

The closest bus stops for easy access to the market are Art Gallery and New Street, and the new nBus ticket means you can jump on pretty much any operator’s bus service.  

So go on, get out there and get merry!
