Spring in Birmingham would not be complete without the Edgbaston Village Artisan Market, returning on Saturday 11 April 2026, with further dates on Saturday 9 May and Saturday 13 June. From 10am to 3pm, the village streets will buzz with over 80 independent traders, live music, and a lively, community-led atmosphere. It is the perfect way to celebrate the season.
The Edgbaston Village Artisan Market returns on 11 April 2026.
The market has become a fixture in Birmingham’s calendar. This year, the focus is sharper than ever, with carefully curated traders, exceptional food, and a spotlight on local makers who bring personality and passion to every stall.

Makers You Won’t Want to Miss
The magic of the market lies in its traders, each presenting something unique. Tanserhouse Creations is an artisan jeweller crafting elegant pearl pieces that balance simplicity with refined detail. These timeless designs make a subtle statement.
Adding playful local character is Robert Geoghegan, whose “Funny Brummie Pictures” capture the quirks and humour of everyday Birmingham life. From bus rides and landmarks to cheeky takes on city scenes, his work is colourful, witty, and unmistakably Brummie.
Food lovers will find plenty to explore as well. Plant Based Passion has grown from a social media project into a vibrant street food destination, serving bold, colourful, plant-based dishes that appeal far beyond the vegan crowd. Meanwhile, Spirit of Birmingham, the city’s first grain-to-glass whisky distillery, brings craft spirits with a focus on quality, heritage, and small-batch production.
These names sit alongside a host of bakers, artists, and makers, creating a market that feels both varied and thoughtfully selected. It is a true showcase of Birmingham’s independent spirit.

The 2026 Food Edit
Food has always been central to the market experience. This year, the selection is bigger, bolder, and more diverse.
Across the stalls, visitors can enjoy freshly baked breads, pastries, and indulgent sweet treats, alongside globally inspired savoury dishes and lighter, plant-based options. Artisan producers also bring small-batch sauces, preserves, and deli-style goods, perfect for taking home.
Coffee plays a starring role as well, with independently brewed cups ready to fuel a slow wander through the market. The emphasis is on grazing, exploring, and discovering new flavours with every turn.

Dining Beyond the Market
Edgbaston Village is one of Birmingham’s standout food destinations, making it easy to turn a morning at the market into a full-day outing.
Start at Village Kitchen for a relaxed breakfast or lunch, or head to Boston Tea Party for ethically sourced coffee and generously portioned brunch dishes.
Italian flavours are well represented at Smoke & Ash, where Neapolitan-style pizza and a carefully curated drinks list draw a loyal crowd. For those looking to linger, Loki Wine offers wine tastings, global selections, and sharing plates. It is perfect for a slower, more indulgent experience.
Fine dining is also well represented. Simpsons continues to lead with Michelin-starred British cuisine, while Chapter champions seasonal, sustainable modern British dishes. For globally inspired dining, Baloci and The Blue Piano bring bold flavours from the Silk Road and Southeast Asia to the heart of Edgbaston.
To round out the day, The High Field and The Physician provide inviting settings for a relaxed drink or early evening meal in characterful surroundings.
