If you should find yourself in the centre of Birmingham in December, then head to Victoria Square and New Street where you will find 80 stalls which make up the Frankfurt Market
The Frankfurt market is the largest German market of it's kind outside Germany and Austria, and you will find all sorts of gifts such as ceramics, candles and toys.
To keep your energies up whilst shopping, stop at the Bratwurst stall for a hot sausage, and for those of you who are over 18, you can wash down your snack with a glass of Gluhwein. Definately a case of christmas ho ho ho!!!
