The Frankfurt Christmas Market in the city centre of Birmingham, West Midlands.

 

The market started in 2001 with 24 stalls and has expanded every year. It opens in mid-November and continues until late December, closing just before Christmas.

 

It stretches across Centenary Square, Chamberlain Square, New Street, and Victoria Square, and is the largest Frankfurt styled market outside Germany and Austria. German food and drink such as Bratwurst and Glühwein are available.

 

The market is affiliated with the Frankfurt Christmas Market in the city of Frankfurt, one of the oldest such markets in Germany (dating from 1393), hence the name. Birmingham is twinned with Frankfurt.
