Market shopping in Birmingham

  1. A

    Rag Market

    If the designer stores get too much, head for Birmingham’s famous, frenetic Rag Market. This huge, hangar-like hall is crammed with everything from handbags and cocktail frocks to leather jackets and jeans. Dressmakers delight in the rolls of satin, chiffon and organza, while many a fancy-dress outfit has been sourced from the wigs, hard hats and boiler suits on sale.

  2. B

    Indoor Market

    A place where you can fill up your fridge without emptying your purse. Stalls include ranks of butchers, including a range of halal ones, and stands piled high with glistening fish and shellfish. Other stalls have mini-mountains of fruit and veg – it’s a bargain hunter’s delight.
