This week Great Western Arcade in central Birmingham has announced a new series of free to attend Curated Markets. The first market will take place on Saturday 29th July from 11am to 5pm and will focus on local food and drink producers.

Great Western Arcade is dedicated to fostering a vibrant community hub, and this new initiative will see the arcade using its space to help showcase the incredible talent of the region’s producers and craftspeople. Each market will have a different focus, where visitors can also enjoy unique experiences such as workshops, activities and talks.
