The last seasonal market of the year is a wonderful Christmas festival at The Bond Company, more a one day urban festival than a market. There’s an indoor market space with twenty five artisan stalls of quality products, no tat here, and a dizzying array of the finest street food including old favourites Pietanic and The Original Patty Men. Best of all is the return of the double decker real ale bus and The Cocktail Caravan. DJ’s will be banging out festive beats and there will be entertainment laid on for the kids, under fives go free. Always a good vibe.

Sat 2 Dec 12pm at the Bond Company, 180 Fazeley Street, B5 5SE Birmingham £2 www.facebook.com
