The now-famous new Bullring is the epicentre of
Birmingham’s all-round shopping experience. (And what an experience.)
£500 million of retail excitement capped by the iconic Selfridges.
Linked by street after street of shopping choice, our city centre malls
come thick and fast. The designer label homeland of The Mailbox. The
Great Western Arcade’s Victorian elegance. Pavilion Central. The
Pallasades. Martineau Place. City Plaza. House of Fraser. Oh, where to
start?

Bullring
Birmingham’s
Bullring - it’s a day in itself. Brim full with 160 shops - two of
which are floor-after-floor of Selfridges and Debenhams. (That
curvaceous Selfridges exterior is worth the trip in itself.) Lose
yourself in a world of the Apple store, Mamas & Papas and Karen
Millen to name but a few. Then refresh shopped-out limbs in any of 25
restaurants. All before going again. How shoptastic is that?
The Mailbox
The
Mailbox is pure indulgence. Where famed fashion and lifestyle design
clash head on with contemporary art and fine furnishings. Take in
Harvey Nichols, Hugo Boss and Emporio Armani. Maybe Jaeger, Bang &
Olufsen or Nicky Clarke Salons are high on your list. Then, for lucky
ladies who lunch, indulge that other favoured pastime. Canalside
restaurants or café bars await.
Markets and stalls
It’s
not all Malls. Far from it. Giants of the high street nestle alongside
smaller boutique and independent stores.. See how £30 million made
House of Fraser’s many floors somewhere everyone feels at home. Enjoy
our huge Marks and Spencer. Or the famous names and independent gems
found the length and breadth of New Street and Corporation Street. But
the biggest treat of all waits ‘til winter. Our authentic Frankfurt
Christmas Market returns - the world’s largest (outside Germany or
Austria).
Pallasades
Nestling
around New Street station, The Pallasades makes car-free family
shopping a positive joy. Bustling and brimming with great value for all
ages, whether your thing is Claire’s Accessories, Argos and Jeff Bains.
Pavillion Central
Right
next door to Birmingham’s Bullring, Pavilion Central is aptly named. At
the heart of the shopping action, it’s jam-packed with top names. Marks
& Spencer, Waterstones, Whittard, La Senza and The Disney Store are
just the starter. Of course, break time offers nearly as much choice.
Dine and peer down on fellow shoppers from the spacious Food Loft.
The Great Western Arcade
Amidst
vibrant Birmingham’s modern hustle and bustle, one retail environment
stands apart. With quiet sophistication. And genteel elegance. The
Great Western Arcade whisks you back to the city’s proud Victorian
heritage. Within this majestic 1876 parade, independent boutique-style
retailers, genuine specialists and a sprinkling of high street names
give discerning shoppers the feel that beautiful discoveries wait
behind every door.
Martineau Place
The
perfect hideaway to step away from the crowd. Just off the busy zones
around Corporation Street, it offers great shopping without great fuss.
Ideal for a quick bite or a leisurely lunch. Then it’s off to the
largest GAP in the city. Or any of the other great fashion, travel or
sports stores all around.
City Plaza
Still
in the bustling city centre but retaining an air of calm and
tranquillity, City Plaza offers a choice of stylish designer ware and
specialist boutiques. For a leisurely look at some of the finest labels
around, you’ve found a true home from home.
