The Lord Mayor’s Michaelmas Fayre at the Bull Ring Markets began on Tuesday with a fine procession to St Martins.A re-enactment of the presentation of the charter for the markets in 1166 took place, the Lord mayor served fruit and vegetables from a market stall, distributed coins specially made in Birmingham for the occasion and presented a plaque to the markets in recognition of their services to the people of Birmingham.
Friday and Saturday see many more events between 11 and 4 including Birds of Prey, a Jester Musician,
a walkabout by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress in costume, some medieval stocks, a wishing well and a talk by Carl Chinn on a thousand years of the markets in St Martins at 2-30. So do come along and stock up with great produce while you’re at it!

It was an honour to be asked to appear at the Lord Mayor of Birminghams Michaelmas Parade.
The event went well and the traders looked fantastic in their outfits. I thought it wonderful that the Lord Mayor & Lady Mayoress organised this event to thank the Market stall holders for their hard work and the customers for their continued support of the City markets. A word of gratitude must go to the Market officers for their help to us on the day of the parade.
