Birmingham's Frankfurt Christmas Market is open in Centenary Square, Chamberlain Square, New Street and Victoria Square until Wednesday 23rd December. Birmingham's Frankfurt Christmas Market will be open daily from 10am to 9pm.
Last weekend I had some guests over and we went in to city centre to have a look around at the various stalls selling unusual and handmade gifts, including ceramics, candles, glasswork, jewellery and Christmas decorations. A number of stalls also feature traditional German items such as wooden toys, nativity scenes and marionettes. For those who enjoy their food you can find gingerbread, marzipan sweets, traditional German breads and pastries.
This was my first visit this year and my impressions were that the range of stalls was greater then in the past and that there was a bigger crowd then I had ever seen in the past.
