Winter’s Coming, What To Do While at Uni?

With winter nearby it means excitement as Christmas is right around the corner, however you might be feeling confused on what to do for the holiday so here's some ideas on how to get you into the festive spirit:

Selly Oak

Selly Oak shopping centre will feel particularly festive at this time with all the shops outfitted with festive foods and items to buy. Best part of it all is that the stores are easily accessible to walk to and from. 

Within Bournville, right next to Selly Oak, there is the annual tree lighting on the 26th of December in which plenty of people and food stalls all gather on Bournville Green to watch the lights switch on the first time around the biggest tree on the green, this can be an amazing first time experience or it is a nice time to relax with friends and have good festive food. 

Birmingham City Centre 

Within the city centre there is something for everybody to enjoy, from food to sightseeing there isn't a dull moment in the heart of the city. 

One of the most popular things to do at christmas is to visit the German Market during the festive season with plenty of foods and gifts straight from Germany. the place is made especially special by the christmas lights all around the bullring making the market have a very festive feel. 

Upon christmas time it might be worth visiting the Bullring statue to see what the bull is wearing for christmas. so dont forget to check while shopping in the centre for all your gifts and food. 

For those who love to sightsee, the Birmingam Botanical Gardens won't dissapoint. With their 'Luminate Birmingham' event on during christmas you it'll be an amazing experience to the the gorgeous flowers and lights at the event.

What to do at home?

Maybe you're more of an indoors person, well there's nothing stopping you feeling the christmas spirit when theres so much to be enjoyed at home with friends or family. 

There is more christmas films than possible to count so there should be a christmas film for everyone to enjoy this winter, there is not much better than relaxing for the holiday and watching something festive.
