One of the most exciting parts of ‘the giving season’ is shopping for gifts. Luckily, Birmingham has some of the UK’s best shopping locations, including Bullring & Grand Central - a huge shopping centre, packed with some of the UK’s most iconic retailers. Whether you’re shopping for the kids, your parents, or just fancy treating yourself, you’ll find something for everyone whilst out shopping in Birmingham.
But that’s not all, Birmingham’s Bullring shopping centre also offers plenty of opportunities to take advantage of our restaurant deals. So, stop off at Pizza Hut and grab a few slices, or drop by Ed’s Easy Diner in Selfridges’ food hall for an All-American meal. Our 25% off the total bill deals and 2 for 1 meals can save you an average of £23 per meal - merry Christmas from us!
Looking for Christmas activities in Birmingham? There are plenty of days out to be enjoyed in the Midlands, so listen up!
Venture out to the impressive Warwick Castle and follow the light trail all the way to Santa. Or if you’ve already sent your Christmas list, head to the Castle’s food and drink village to sip on mulled wine and other seasonal treats. Don’t forget about their ice-rink, of course, where you can show off your triple axel jump or cling to the barrier like your life depends on it.
If you’re keen to keep the kids busy during their half-term, we’re particularly big fans of SEA LIFE. So much so that we even offer a range of days out deals on SEA LIFE tickets, so that you can give your little ones the gift of experiencing deep-sea wonders this Christmas.
Nothing says Christmas like Chocolate! Cadbury World makes for a fantastic activity around this time of year for people of all ages - let's face it, everyone loves chocolate. Plus, the big guy will be making an appearance, too! Father Christmas will be spreading Christmas cheer at Cadbury World in his festive fun stage show throughout the season, handing out chocolatey gifts to all little helpers watching.
No countdown to Christmas is complete without a visit to the Christmas markets. Birmingham has one of the UK’s largest Christmas markets, known as Frankfurt Christmas Market. With tonnes of markets dotted along New Street and Victoria Square, you’ll find plenty of unique stalls to pique your interest.
Discover traditional food stalls serving bratwurst, roasted chestnuts, and waffles, alongside a selection of spicy yet sweet seasonal beverages. With festive music and an undeniable atmosphere, there’s no Christmas spirit quite like that of a Christmas market.
It’s no secret that the weather will be especially chilly at this time of year, so why not make use of our discount coffee deals before strolling over to the markets? Get 25% off your favourite barista-made drink and keep yourself warm from the inside out whilst you peruse.
If you live in Birmingham and just can’t face the cold that waits beyond your fleece blanket and slippers, we don’t blame you! If you’re looking to capture the Christmas spirit from home, there’s nothing quite as festive as sticking on a Christmas classic and lounging beside your very own Christmas tree.
To make your movie night all the more special, treat yourselves to our pizza delivery deals and enjoy food from Domino’s, Pizza Hut, or Papa Johns.
Now that you’ve got a better idea of how to keep busy during the festive season and where to find Christmas markets in Birmingham, it’s time to start planning your December!
