And the Birmingham Rep consistently delivers incredible holiday magic. This year, they are treating audiences to sensational stage adaptations of beloved classics like <i data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"251\">Peter Pan<\/i> and <i data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"265\">The Snowman<\/i>, bringing these timeless stories to life with incredible sets and heartwarming performances.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"15\">Whether you are watching Peter Pan fly across the stage or getting misty-eyed as the Snowman takes flight, these productions offer world-class storytelling right in the heart of the city. It is a wonderfully cosy way to spend a chilly afternoon, immersing yourself in a bit of theatrical wonder.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DewYsISFxhI\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Set around the beautiful grounds of St Philip\u2019s Cathedral, this market operates in partnership with local businesses to highlight the very best of Birmingham\u2019s independent vendors.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"39\">It is a fantastic spot to pick up quirky, locally made gifts, art and crafts that you won&#8217;t find anywhere else. With plenty of fantastic local food pop-ups and a cosy pub area for a festive drink, it is a charming spot to soak up the winter atmosphere.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DROyArKDYWz\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
