Christmas in Cathedral Square

Christmas in Cathedral Square has now closed for 2022. It was an amazing 2nd year and we couldn’t be more proud. Over the 5 weeks we had some fantastic midlands traders, we had a surprise visit from Father Christmas along with a little snow. We seen the community come together to switch the lights on and enjoyed a mulled wine with live entertainment. Our new hot alcoholic drinks bar Babs Tap was opened and named by the Birmingham Mail winner Azra! 

Thank you to our amazing partners Birmingham City Council, Danters Attractions and St Philips Cathedral. 

Thank you to our special guests Glynn Purnell, Councillor Jayne Francis, Hippodromes very own Dame; Andrew Ryan, Alex Tross, Victoria Osgood, Big City Radio, Graham Young and Luxury Live Music.
