The Frankfurt Christmas Market is firmly established as a flagship event for the festive season. Enjoy handcrafted jewellery; delicious German treats to carved wooden toys; German beer; pretzels and more, the Frankfurt Market has something for everyone. The stallholders are from Germany and many of them have stalls in Frankfurt and other German cities, as well as in Birmingham.
This year the Christmas Craft Market will be in Centenary Square only, due to the development of Paradise. The market offers handmade crafts, soaps and candles by local artisans and a wealth of unique and quirky items. Visitors can also enjoy traditional mouth-watering treats including locally produced traditional roast dinners with homemade chutneys and mustards, an assortment of sweet treats, mulled cider, winter Pimm’s and locally brewed real ales.
