Birmingham, the Amazing Stained Glass Windows in St Martin in the Bullring - December 2019

I was lucky to visit the interior of St Martin in the Bullring during almost perfect conditions for photos of some the amazing stained glass windows, the low sun was shining directly through the south side windows and I got a few of the famous Burne-Jones window in the south transept.

Coca Cola Christmas Truck in Birmingham over the years

The world famous Coca Cola Christmas Truck used to make an annual visit to Birmingham (and other places across the UK). It will not be returning to Birmingham in December 2019 (instead to the Merry Hill Shopping Centre near Dudley). Instead enjoy this gallery of photos from the Bullring (2014 and 2016) and Eastside City Park (2017 and 2018).

Coca Cola Christmas Truck in Birmingham over the years





The world famous Coca Cola Christmas Truck used to make an annual visit to Birmingham (and other places across the UK). It will not be returning to Birmingham in December 2019 (instead to the Merry Hill Shopping Centre near Dudley). Instead enjoy this gallery of photos from the Bullring (2014 and 2016) and Eastside City Park (2017 and 2018).


St Martin's Square, Bullring, December 2014

I was first able to get photos of the world famous Coca Cola Christmas Truck at the Bullring in St Martin's Square on the early evening on the 11th December 2014.

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Bullring (Dec 2014) (1).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

Was a crowd of people in the queue to get a free can of Coca Cola, or pose with the truck. Was near Selfridges, St Martin's Church and a Christmas tree.

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Bullring (Dec 2014) (2).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

Views from the upper level balcony at the Bullring are best to see the Coca Cola Truck (and other things that park here).

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Bullring (Dec 2014) (3).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

The Coca Cola Truck always drew a crowd of people.

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Bullring (Dec 2014) (4).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

You know the "holidays are coming" when Santa brings his Coca Cola Truck to town!

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Bullring (Dec 2014) (5).JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

St Martin's Square, Bullring, December 2016

Thanks to Birmingham Updates for using one my 2016 photos on their Social Media posts, I now know that it wont be returning to Birmingham in December 2019.

I next saw the Coca Cola Truck when it returned to the Bullring on the 17th December 2016. This time got my photos in the daylight hours.

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Bullring (Dec 2016) (1).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Similar views as before, but you can see the Coca Cola Truck properly now. A Coke man takes a families photo with the truck.

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Bullring (Dec 2016) (2).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

The Bullring's 2016 Christmas tree look rather artificial that year. This is the photo that Birmingham Updates used. Coca Cola Truck Bham Updates.

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Bullring (Dec 2016) (3).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Getting different views, but more of the same.

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Bullring (Dec 2016) (4).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Going round the side of Selfridges for this view of the Coca Cola Truck at the Bullring.

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Bullring (Dec 2016) (5).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Ice Skate Birmingham, Eastside City Park, December 2017

The next time I saw the Coca Cola Truck was when it visited Ice Skate Birmingham in Eastside City Park. This was on the 9th December 2017. This was the day before it snowed. I was coming back on the train from a day out in Bedworth. Not much of a view from the train, so I headed to Eastside after I arrived at Birmingham New Street Station.

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck Eastside" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Eastside City Park (Dec 2017) (1) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Close up view of the world famous Coca Cola Truck. New views with it included The Woodman pub and Curzon Street Station.

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck Eastside" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Eastside City Park (Dec 2017) (2) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

This view with the Birmingham Big Wheel and the other rides that were at Ice Skate Birmingham. They found this site in 2017 due to the then redevelopment of Centenary Square (which took two years in the end).

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck Eastside" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Eastside City Park (Dec 2017) (3) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Slightly further back with the Birmingham Big Wheel. It would be nice to get something like this again in Westside, but the Coca Cola Truck isn't coming to Birmingham this year.

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck Eastside" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Eastside City Park (Dec 2017) (4) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Last 2017 view as the light faded. Masshouse residential blocks to the right. Rotunda in the middle and the Birmingham Big Wheel to the left.

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck Eastside" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Eastside City Park (Dec 2017) (5) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Ice Skate Birmingham, Eastside City Park, December 2018

Spending a section festive season in Eastside City Park, Ice Skate Birmingham once again hosted the return of the Coca Cola Christmas Truck. I saw it on the early evening of the 15th December 2018, in rainy sleety cold and freezing weather!

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck Eastside" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Eastside City Park (Dec 2018) (1) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Despite the weather conditions, the resulting photos looking quite Christmasy, even thought it wasn't snowing. The Birmingham Big Wheel to the right. With The Woodman pub seen behind.

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck Eastside" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Eastside City Park (Dec 2018) (2) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

For 2018, they parked the Coca Cola Truck in a slightly different position. Also Ice Skate Birmingham were further to the right, as the land they used previously was now HS2 land.

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck Eastside" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Eastside City Park (Dec 2018) (3) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Probably due to the weather, there wasn't many people around.

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck Eastside" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Eastside City Park (Dec 2018) (4) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Still the sleety rain added to the effect of a Coca Cola Christmas!

dndimg alt="Coca Cola Truck Eastside" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Coca Cola Truck Eastside City Park (Dec 2018) (5) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

I hope people at Merry Hill enjoy it. Never been there myself. Although I know that you can get a bus from Cradley Heath Station (which is on the Snow Hill lines). According to the Birmingham Mail, it will be in Merry Hill on the 6th and 7th December 2019. Coca-Cola Christmas truck 2019 heads to intu Merry Hill.

Birmingham, the Frankfurt Christmas Market - November 2019

I went down to the edge of the Frankfurt Chrismas Market, a bit too intense for me to venture inside on the first weekend but I got some more magical scenes of this fantastic attraction in Victoria Square.

Magical Lantern Festival 2017 at Kings Heath Park

The Magical Lantern Festival returned to Birmingham for the Christmas 2017 season, but this time at Kings Heath Park, having been at the Botanical Gardens the year before. I only really saw it in the daylight hours. Looked "magical" with the snow of December 2017. Did return once more at Christmas Eve, but didn't book a ticket to see after dark.

Magical Lantern Festival 2017 at Kings Heath Park





The Magical Lantern Festival returned to Birmingham for the Christmas 2017 season, but this time at Kings Heath Park, having been at the Botanical Gardens the year before. I only really saw it in the daylight hours. Looked "magical" with the snow of December 2017. Did return once more at Christmas Eve, but didn't book a ticket to see after dark.


See also my Magical Lantern Festival post on the 2016 event at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

After getting some initial daylight photos from the 11A or 11C buses on the Vicarage Road in November 2017, I went to Kings Heath Park on the 8th December 2017 after it had snowed. Tickets to go after 5pm would have been anywhere between £15 to £17. But Kings Heath Park was open as normal before then for free.

A pink canopy of roses surrounded by snow.

Santa with his reindeer near the entrance.

dndimg alt="Magical Lantern Kings Heath" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Magical Lantern Festival 2017 Kings Heath Park (Dec 2017) snow (2).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Would assume that at nightfall you would walk under this archway.

dndimg alt="Magical Lantern Kings Heath" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Magical Lantern Festival 2017 Kings Heath Park (Dec 2017) snow (3).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Snow covered presents, Christmas trees and a house with a boy.

Snow covered elf.

dndimg alt="Magical Lantern Kings Heath" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Magical Lantern Festival 2017 Kings Heath Park (Dec 2017) snow (5).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

I wan't sure if this was Angry Birds or Rio?

2017 "Merry Christmas" and Santa on a relaxing armchair reading a list of kids present wishes. Why fly to Lapland when you could go to Kings Heath Park (2 years ago that is).

dndimg alt="Magical Lantern Kings Heath" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Magical Lantern Festival 2017 Kings Heath Park (Dec 2017) snow (10).jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

I last came back on Christmas Eve 2017, by then the snow had melted, so looked a lot less Christmasy.

Fun fair rides under wraps. They probably open them up just before it gets dark. In the day they were covered over.

dndimg alt="Magical Lantern Kings Heath" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Magical Lantern Festival 2017 Kings Heath Park (Dec 2017) Xmas Eve (1) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Polar bears. Now if only I got them with the snow.

dndimg alt="Magical Lantern Kings Heath" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Magical Lantern Festival 2017 Kings Heath Park (Dec 2017) Xmas Eve (2) .jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

Some kind of flowers I would guess.
