Solihull’s Christmas German MarketRead more
Christmas festivities will have a new feel this year in Solihull as the enchanting Christmas German Market arrives in town! Mell Square will be transformed into a festive wonderland, creating a new and unique experience for Solihull's shoppers.
The market offers a number of traditionally decorated stalls selling an assortment of German gifts to help you on your way with your Christmas shopping list; wooden toys, candles and traditional Christmas decorations. There is even a chance to stop off for a bite to eat, whether you feel like a crepe, waffle or even a German sausage! You can even treat yourself to a refreshing German beer or a warming glass of Glühwein - that's mulled wine to you and me!
The Festivities will begin on Saturday 28th November when the Christmas lights will be switched on all over the town centre at 5.30pm. There will be live music, elf stilt walkers, festive face painters, merry balloon modellers, jolly jugglers and much more, so you can enjoy the switch on wherever you are.
