Be there to see Santa and his reindeer start proceedings as they parade down Gibb Street at 12.30pm.

The event  champions Birmingham’s independent shopping experience, with a Christmas market selling unique gifts and crafts and exclusive discounts on offer at many of The Custard Factory’s 30 independent shops and cafes.

There will be lots of activities and entertainment for kids and adults, including a pop up make up bar by Make-Up Central, cupcake decorating, t-shirt printing, jewellery making and a rodeo reindeer.

Digmas is different to the mainstream Christmas markets and is a celebration of the Birmingham and Digbeth’s creative, independent scene. People will find gifts that can’t be found on the high street and support local shops and traders in the process.

The Digmas programme of live music includes traditional carol singing, the Roo Savill Trio, The Glamophones, Rich McMahon Folk and Clutching at Straws. Digbeth Dining Club will be bringing along some of its most popular traders including The Meatshack, Esme’s Seafood Kitchen, Fat Duck Spuds, The Bournville Waffle Company and Vegan Grindhouse.

The Glamophones return to Digmas this year along with four new live music actsDigmas is the climax of the Custard Factory’s pre-Christmas programme of events, which also features:

*   VIP Record Fair and City of Colours Winter Showcase – Saturday 6th December
*   B2B Antiques and Vintage Bazaar, featuring Digbeth Dining Club – Saturday 13th December
