Christmas Comes to Birmingham

Today is the opening of the well know Frankfurt Christmas Market, which runs through the high street in Birmingham.

The German Market is lighting up the centre of Birmingham with it's range of stalls, rides and plenty of Christmas spirit to go around. But is it too early to be thinking about Christmas?

I went to the market last year with a few friends, and it really got us in the Christmassy spirit! The colourful lights, yummy food and the handmade gifts all amongst the hustle and bustle, was a great experience and I'll definitely be going back again this year.

The 180 wooden chalets selling handmade toys, candles, gifts and tasty treats have attracted visitors from all over the country, making the market one of Birmingham's favourite Christmas events.

Personally, I am very excited to go back to the market, especially for the chocolate pancakes and also to try some of the Glühwein, which is the traditional German mulled wine. 

The market is also a good place to buy a few Christmas gifts and a lovely place to go with your friends or family for a day or evening out. Let me know if you go and how your experience is! Enjoy!
