Birmingham's celebrated German Christmas market will return this winter after being called off in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The annual market has been a feature of the city centre since 1997.
There will be fewer stalls this year when it returns on 4 November due to works in Victoria Square.
The city council also said there is still a chance it will be cancelled however "should Covid restrictions come back into effect".
