Birmingham comes alive every winter with the arrival of the festive season and the Christmas Market. The stalls on Victoria Square and along New Street offer something for everyone. Enjoy the live music programme on Victoria Square or the Big wheel and skating in Centenary Square. For an alternative shopping experience visit Christmas in Cathedral Square Craft Market. And of course there is the Bull Ring and Grand Central, the Jewellery Quarter and Mailbox (home to Harvey Nichols), the beautiful Great Western Arcade and Selfridges! Plenty to fill your day until...
In the afternoon we change pace and take our seats for Birmingham Royal Ballet’s performance of their spectacular Christmas show, The Nutcracker. Be swept away on an unforgettable magical journey…this sumptuous and timeless production boasts daring swordfights, falling snow, magic, and a 30-foot Christmas tree! Tchaikovsky’s glorious score, performed live by the 60-strong Royal Ballet Sinfonia, provides the captivating soundtrack to this festive classic!
