Farmers' Market

Fresh meat, drink and veg

New Street
Birmingham B2 4JH
United Kingdom
+44 121 643 2514

A fairly recent addition to the market scene in Birmingham, the Farmers' Market is held along the top end of New Street on the first and third Wednesdays of the month. It is exceedingly popular, and the array of fresh food is positively beguiling. You can buy organic meats, vegetables, cheeses and wines, and scoff yourself silly on ostrich burgers while you do so. Prices are highly competitive and the quality far better than anything you'll find in the nearby food halls and stores.

St Martin's Market

Rags and riches Edgbaston Street
Bull Ring
Birmingham B5 4RB
United Kingdom
+44 121 303 0300 This is the new name for what was the old Rag Market, and it remains a great place to find bargains. The market is only open three days a week, holds 350 stalls and sells material and trimmings at cheap prices. Other goods on offer include carpets, rugs, clothes and household items. The market is always extremely busy at the weekends and is popular amongst the students for its cheap and trendy second-hand clothing. There is a well-stocked haberdashery section too. This is an area where you'll find a complete fusion of cultures - a place that has to be visited.
