About Bullring & Grand Central

Bullring & Grand Central is a huge shopping complex in the very city of Birmingham. The site of Bullring, beneath the St Martin’s Church, has always been the city’s historic market centre, and began life in 1166 when Birmingham was awarded a charter giving it the right to have its own market. In the 1960s the market site became one of the country’s most celebrated examples of revolutionary urban planning with the dramatic development of the old Bullring, at the time one of the world’s largest enclosed shopping centres outside the US, and at the forefront of shopping centre design. Drawing on Birmingham’s historic street patterns, Bullring is composed of a series of traditional streets, squares and open spaces. Enjoy loads of shopping and dining opportunities in the middle of the city.
