    The Bull Ring is located in the heart of Birmingham City centre. It is a bright and modern and looks quite glamorous.

    It has over 150 shops to choose from including Topshop/Topman, Debenhams, Selfridges, River Island, Ann Summers, La Senza, and lots of other top shops for all your needs. There are more than 20 restaurants to choose from too.

    It is open until 8pm six days a week which is excellent for all you shoppers out there.
    Bullring. It’s Birmingham’s newest shopping destination, and the most exhilarating city retail experience you’ll have anywhere in Europe.

    Built at a cost of over £500 million, Bullring has brought over 26 football pitches worth of shops, boutiques and restaurants into the centre of town. It has reintroduced some of Birmingham’s traditional streets and is a stimulating, glass covered environment where you can shop, eat or just be.

    Bullring isn’t just a shopping centre. It’s a new beginning for the city. It has introduced 3,200 more car parking spaces, improved public transport links and a refurbished Moor Street Station. And with a stunning mix of contemporary architecture and historic buildings, Bullring has completely changed the face of Birmingham.

    Clothes for men, women, children. Shoes, bags, underwear, jewellery, babywear anything goes really. Its all under one roof.

    Average price for shopping in the UK. But not as costly as London.
    Selfridges may be a little bit more expensive than other shops.

    The Bullring opened in September 2003 and covers an area the size of 26 football pitches. It has hundreds of shops and restaurants which sell everything anyone could want from clothes, Cd's & DVD's, computers, food and books. Some of it's main stores include Selfridges, Debenhams, HMV, River Island, Borders and H. Samuel.It is very large, however even due to it's size it can get very busy: especially on weekends. It also has excellent facilities including toilets/WC's, security, cash points, telephones and touch-screen computers to help customers find their way around.

    It is fairly reasonable and some shops have good sales. If you are looking for more designer shops than the Mailbox is more suitable.

    Bull Ring: Bull Ring Shopping Centre
  • Tip Rating:

  • Updated By Galahad on December 12, 2007

  • Well I finally have been to see The Bull Ring which opened on 4th September 2003. This brand new £500m city centre shopping centre maybe the largest shopping centre in Europe but I was a little disappointed.
    The new Selfridge's Department Store is certainly architecturely stunning but I think it is better on the outside than the inside. The food hall is certainly exciting but the exotic is carried too far most of the time. I'm afraid I do not feel qualified to write about the other departments.
    March 2004 Selfridges have announced that the store has been so successful that they are to spend GBP2m on refurbishing, reorganising and extending some departments. The main areas will be the food hall, the wine department (50% of sales are champagne) and some of the clothes departments.
    October 2005 The readers of the magazine "In Style" have voted Selfridges as the best department store both in London and outside the capital.
    The new Bull Ring contains 1.2 million sq ft of retail space. About 100 different retailers opened in the centre and they recruited about 8000 staff for the whole of the centre when they opened.
    Glass from the old Bull Ring Centre has been reused to create a major glass artwork at one of the entrances for an observatory cafe for Border Books overlooking St Martin's Square, but on the day I visited I could not find it.
    November 2007 In the first year after opening, The Bull Ring had 36.5 million visitors and is the most visited shopping centre outside of London's West End.

  • Directions: Next to both New Street and Moor Street Railway Stations. At New Street there is now a bridge from The Pallisades Shopping Centre (go up the escalator from the station concourse). At Moor Street turn left and cross the road.

    Bull Ring: How to spend four hours in bliss
    funnyl
  • Updated By funnyl on April 16, 2004

  • The Bullring is lovely to shop in, there's tons of variety and all kinds of stores, from the ubiquitous Debenhams to a novelty gadget shop to a quaint photoframe shop with unbelievable kinds of frames (to someone who has zero interest in frames).
    Prices range from everything, to match all kinds of budgets, from a 500 pound shirt at Selfridges to a 5 pound one at the numerous shops.
    I spent four hours without realizing the time and I dont even like shopping, this is fun.
    The picture on my Birmingham page is taken outside the Bullring though it doesnt show much of the place.

  • Next door to the rag market, this market area sells more food. You can buy vegetables, confectionery, pet foods, meat and fish. Indeed the whole market smells of fish ;)

  • This is the main open area behind the Bull Ring Centre. You can buy all the fruit and veg that you want at very low prices compared to the supermarkets. It is open from 9am to 5pm every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The best time to get there is probably just after 4pm. At this time you can pick up all the bargains. The stall holders would rather sell everything they have left for a pound than carry it all home ;)
