There'll be music on the bandstand and a chance to shop from enterprising Brummies face-to-face. Article continues below Organiser Pip Bradley, who also owns market favourite Pip's
Hot Sauce, said: "The Botanical Gardens are absolutely stunning! When they first got in touch, I was utterly delighted. "I've spent so much time there over the years. As a
kid and as an adult; it's such a valuable Birmingham asset and one that you can have a different relationship with through the different stages of your life. "For Birmingham
Artisan Markets it offers us the chance to do some things that we can't usually do in our community settings too." Most Birmingham Artisan Markets are held in outdoor spaces such
as Bournville Village Green, but the event at the Botanical Gardens will be held under cover. Pip said: "We will be filling the huge banqueting suite with traders so this means that
people who aren't suitable to trade outside get the chance. "We have so much more room to accommodate a wider range of traders than usual, but still with our core focus of artisan
and independent. "Then outside we have invited some street food traders. There will be food from What The Cluck, Street Baller, Hope Your Hungry, Bear Eats and more to be announced.
"The Botanical Gardens have a new bar offer, and we are filling the band stand with music too." Music will be provided by Leftfoot, which has promoted underground music in
Birmingham for 25 years. Article continues below The market will begin at 11am and run until 5pm. Tickets are £5 per person from the Birmingham Botanical Gardens website. Day tickets to the
Gardens are ordinarily £8.50 so attending the markets offer access to the space at a reduced rate.
