Christmas comes to Paradise Birmingham
The heart of Birmingham is being enlivened with even more Christmas cheer for all the family this year, thanks to Paradise.
The £1.2 billion redevelopment of the very heart of the city is helping to spread festive cheer across the city centre – and all for free.
The estate has seen plenty of major milestones this year with the topping out of both its next commercial building, Three Chamberlain Square, as well as the world-first Octagon residential tower reaching 155 metres above the city.
This now brings the number of completed buildings on the estate to five, along with a fine collection of top class leisure destinations, with some of Birmingham’s most popular restaurants, bars and cafes, namely Dishoom, Albert’s Schloss, Rosa’s Thai, F1®Arcade, Yorks Café, La Bellezza and Cow & Sow.
We’re sure everyone will agree the Paradise Christmas decorations are truly spectacular this year too and are definitely worthy of some seasonal selfies, couple captures and family portraits, and we want to see the best shots – people can follow the trail of baubles around Chamberlain Square.
We’re giving away 6 special Presents from Paradise, including a £75 voucher for Albert’s Schloss, a £100 voucher for Dishoom, an F1® Arcade experience for two including dinner and racing, a meal for two at La Bellezza, a £50 voucher to redeem at Yorks Café and a Picanha sharing steak dinner for two with sides, sauces and a bottle of Malbec to accompany from Paradise’s very newest addition, Cow & Sow.
We’re asking people to simply take a seasonal photograph at Paradise and share it to Instagram by tagging @paradisebham on and/or Facebook by tagging Paradise Birmingham to be in with a chance of winning!
Everyone has until Friday 3rd January 2025 23:59 to post their images to Facebook and Instagram and the six lucky winners will be announced on Monday 6th January 2025. Further details and terms and conditions can be found here.
As well as our stunning Christmas decorations and the many delights on offer in our eateries and bars and the many offers available there, there’s also plenty going on in Chamberlain Square and around the estate itself, with free live music and entertainment suitable for everyone.
From bands and choirs to some very special visitors, we hope as many people as possible will join in and share in the festive fun with us from the 10th to 21st December.
