00:00It's been the first day of the German market, we're expecting quite a few people to come
00:12into the city centre. We're looking forward to it being here this winter, it brings in
00:16millions of people from across not just Birmingham but the UK and also Europe. So this year we've
00:22got the same number of markets as we did last time but in addition there's five craft markets
00:28here as well so that's more variety for local people and those that just come along to enjoy.
00:33One of the great things about the German market is that it brings in over 7,000 jobs whilst
00:37he's here which is great for the local economy and over £200m comes through through people's
00:43spending whilst they're here. It's great for Birmingham and we're really proud to be hosting
00:48it for over 20 years.
