One of the benefits of Birmingham being twinned with Frankfurt is that every yuletide a fantastic Christmas market descends on the city. Birmingham's Frankfurt Christmas Market is the largest market of its kind in the UK and one of the only ones I have visited that has a good atmosphere that resembles what you would find in Germany.
The market sprawls through the city centre starting on New Street, with many stalls also on Victoria Square, Chamberlain Square and Centenary Square. Altogether the range of stalls total around 190 with craft stalls as well as food stalls. I have to admit I tend to overindulge on the latter during my visits; especially the bratwurst, crepes and gluehwein! :D There also some burger stalls selling a range of ostrich, reindeer and kangaroo burgers!
Entry to the markets is free but the prices are quite high. You could easily spend a lot of money without realising it. The market usually runs from mid-November to just before Christmas but check the website for exact dates.
