Birmingham Blog (Christmas) - Visit Birmingham

Ahhh Christmas – a time for celebrating, over indulging and partying; but it’s not all roses, let us not forget, it can also be a period of turmoil and stress for those on the hunt for the ideal gift!

Ahhh Christmas, some say it is the most wonderful time of the year… some say it is the most stressful. However, us Brummies’ do not believe in Christmas being stressful, we believe in Christmas being a time to be selfish and relax. So, to make the most of your festive jaunt to Birmingham we highly recommend you STAY OVER!

One of my all-time preferred activities in winter involves getting all wrapped up and going for a bracing walk - pre a HUUUUGE roast dinner – returning to a nice ham or some lamb perhaps.
