Birmingham Chinese Festival Committee and Birmingham Hippodrome are once again hosting the city’s annual Chinese New Year celebrations this month.

Festivities start in the city centre on Saturday 1 February with lion and dragon processions.

Celebrations then continue on Sunday the 2nd at Hippodrome Square and throughout Chinatown. 

The packed programme showcases local Chinese talent and includes a range of traditional and modern music, dance and theatre performances.

Across the weekend, Southside will come alive with craft markets, food stalls, family activities and more. Events will be brought to a close with a spectacular fireworks display.
