The Bullring & Grand Central is so extensive that you’ll probably need a full, energized day to truly explore everything it has to offer. From high-street fashion to designer brands, restaurants, and cafes, the shopping and dining options feel endless. Outside, you’re greeted by the city’s icon, Ozzy the Bull, a must-see landmark and popular photo spot. What makes the experience even better is the direct link to Grand Central station above Birmingham New Street, making the mall incredibly convenient for both locals and visitors. With its mix of shopping, food, and city buzz, the Bullring & Grand Central is more than just a mall — it’s the centrepiece of Birmingham life.

So having arrived in brum by train we went to explore the ode bullring. I tell you what pal but the place was absolutely heaving for saying the weather had taken a turn for the worse and it was raining, the city is definitely a sleeping giant! We joined the many blues, sky blues, villans and old golds in checking the place out. I tell you what pal but I've never seen a primark or primarni as I call it so big, this bad boy of a store had 4 floors with a cafe, a greggs and even a pre loved section! It really was inspirational and I've not seen or been in another primark like it anywhere it really is an eye catcher baby massive kudos! Had a nosey in the body shop and I tell you what pal but the ode sugar pumpkin 🎃 section was absolutely banging it was a beautiful scent, hand cream, shower gels the full shebang people were going mad for it, reckon this stuffs the new best seller in brum land and the lady working there loved a good natter she was a good egg pal! Ended up getting a my cookie dough from one of the pop ups. It wasnt cheap pal, but i went with the cookies and cream with ice cream and oh my god pal talk about yummy yummy in my tummy or what. It was massive and very tasty indeed pal, I'll let you into a little secret but im sure I put 4 pounds on eating that bad boy! Walking back to the ode train station we were greeted by ozzy the mechanical bull, what a creature, what a construction all 33ft of him, definitely worth a look 👀 The other thing i noticed round ozzy, it absolutely stunk of wacky backy to the point that when I got back on the train my head was nearly touching the roof I was that high on the whiffer! Alot of trains cancelled today however no problems for us and we managed to get 2 seats together on the return journey but again that was a little bit whiffy as someone kept letting tommy squeakers off. A cracking day out though and definitely a sleeping giant there 😴 keep up the fantastic work you brummies 👏

Bullring has lots of stores. There is something for everyone. From the bargain hunters to the premium shopper. Not too crowded when I visited and was very clean.

Very convenient mall, all brands under this roof of Bullring and Grand Central Shopping Centre. Many restaurants, cafes and the good you can get accessible toilets in each floor

Many basic and luxury brand stores are available to shop. There is something for everyone in this mall from basic to high end shopping. Loved Selfridges and Bershka. Plenty of shopping.

it’s lovely, i like taking a stroll around and it’s never too busy, a lot of parking too and it’s just a nice chill spot to do window shopping, it’s funny how you have to go outside to get to another side of bullring sometimes but it’s nice. very unique.

This shopping center is really good for shopping for jewelry such as watches, household items, gifts, fragrances, perfumes, and body hygiene products.

The building is really mislabeled. There’s one room with Art which may have 20 canvases. One of them is quite a nice place but otherwise if you’re coming for Art, you’re not going to find anything that you want. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a museum with a great coverage of the history of Birmingham, the top floor of the building has a very excellent series of exhibits on this topic. That’s not why I came here, but I did enjoy it quite a lot. If you have kids, there’s a dinosaur exhibit on the lower floor. I think it’s 9 pounds for adults and free for kids. Otherwise, the museum is free. There’s a nice coffee shop.

The museum was outstanding. Very clean, staff were very knowledgeable and friendly, and very considerate when providing assistance, especially to those with additional support needs. There's portable chairs behind the doors, a great personal touch when you're spending a few hours in there. I visited from Manchester to see the Ozzy Osbourne exhibition, the Made In Birmingham exhibition, and paid in to see Giants whilst I was there. Highly recommend and will be returning in the future. Gift shop was great, with lots of different quirky items connected to the exhibitions.

really great place, went for the ozzy osbourne stuff but i was pleasantly surprised by the rest of the displays. I like how everything in the museum is relevant to Birmingham or England. I felt like i got to learn tge place’s history. Everything was really informative, interactiv, and the whole experience was beautiful.

Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery is a true gem in the city! The museum offers a wonderful mix of art, history, and culture, with something to interest everyone. The galleries are beautifully curated, featuring impressive fine art collections, fascinating local history exhibits, and world-class pieces like the Pre-Raphaelite paintings. The building itself is magnificent, with stunning architecture that adds to the experience. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to share insights or help guide you through the exhibits. It’s a great place to spend a few hours learning, relaxing, and being inspired — a must-visit destination for anyone coming to Birmingham.

Lovely gallery! Lovely and huge and lots of things to see in there aswell as a lovely and spacious cafe, bigger than the cafe in my local gallery!!! I enjoyed my pumpkin spice latte that I had in the cafe it tasted just like the one at Starbucks, but better than Starbucks 👌🏻 and the Ozzy Osbourne exhibiton that's on at the moment is fab 🖼️! I will be back! We both loved the gallery with a passion 😊

Really interesting place to visit. Lots of variety in terms of exhibits and things to do. Plenty for people of all ages. The Staffordshire Hoard is a great section and displayed excellently.

I came here many years ago. Back in the days when they had a museum full of art. Now there's very little but there was a nice section on the history of Birmingham. As much as that was a nice touch and it being free, it felt like there was so little to see. There's the classic over prices gift shop and coffee shop inside. But you'll not spend long in here any more sadly. Hope you enjoy it more than I did. Enjoy.

Beautiful night in a beautiful setting. The hall looks classic and well mantained. The lobby area is modern and well designed. We enjoyed our first ever concert in Birmingham, at the music hall.

What a fine concert experience to see the wonderful Boomtown Rats Saturday. Fine and friendly staff, effective signage, and a view par excellence. Crystal clear sound quality, so this great band connected with my eyes ears and above all heart.

Only one criticism. Some of the seated areas have very limited leg space, which is more noticeable during longer performances or shows. Due to long lines of seats with limited leg space and no access isles; everyone has to stand to allow someone in or out, after people have sat down. This also makes me question what would happen if there was an emergency requiring evacuation. How would that go? Not well I suspect, and certainly, accessibility for those with walking aids or wheelchairs would not be viable for these seats (though I'm certain that there will be other, specific areas where accessibility has been considered). Also another more minor issue... Drink/snack holders would be nice, though I appreciate this is not always considered appropriate at these types of venue. Other aspects of the venue were exceptional. Spacious, clean, well designed, well staffed. Friendly and helpful staff. Facilities were also of a good standard. Also I should say the crowd were excellent. Everyone was friendly and considerate, and excited or happy to be there. It was truly a joy to experience.

The hall itself is nice, comfortable seats, and the sound acoustics were great. The event itself was good, with a clear screen and an absolutely stunning orchestra. Slight disappointment that they didn't play the cantina band song live, and the queues for the bar at the interval were long which meant we ended up not buying a drink. Regardless, it was fantastic and the orchestra were definitely the stars of the show! I'd definitely go there again for future events!

I’ve only visited here once, but I found it easy to access with nearby parking. The venue itself is nice, spacious and you’re guaranteed pretty much a good view from whatever seat you pick. This was my seat to see, Back to the Future: In Concert which I purposely picked a higher up seat. The sound throughout the symphony hall is also really good. The only gripe I do have is some seats have limited leg room, so be prepared

A wonderful venue. So relaxed & organised. Just saw Howard Jones in concert who was exceptional-what a remarkable performance with perfect sound & lighting making it an unforgettable experience.

Went to go see the Maren Morris concert the sound and lightning was awful. We were sat in the circle with a great iew but the lights behind Maren shone directly on us, many people were blinded by the light. I suffer from Irlen Syndrome and had to sit with my eyes closed for.most of the concert. The sound was also distorted and you could not really see the stage. One other grip we had drinks and ice cream. Wow the prices were eye watering but the ice cream was full of ice crystals. Terrible for over £4 a tiny pot. We never ventured into Birmingham anymore and now I can truly say I know why. Terrible experience. I have added pictures but it was hard to show, due to the spot lights causing such issues.

Lived in Sutton for most of my life. Gracefully was a lovely shopping centre. Now it's like a ghost town with more shops shut than open, so very sad. Great if you want to drink coffee or eat. Looking forward to when they entice some of the bigger shops back with 2 massive sites still empty. Always hoping that something like Primark would boost the town and other shops would benefit from increased footfall.

Stopped by Gracechurch Shopping Centre a couple of times recently, but sadly it didn’t leave much of an impression. The 1960s architecture gives it a dated feel, and the atmosphere isn’t particularly inviting. Many of the shops I’d normally use have closed or moved on, which makes the experience feel a bit hollow. It’s fine for a quick pop-in if you’re nearby, but not somewhere I’d go out of my way to visit.

Gloucester shopping centre is an amazing collection of retailers you won't find in most cities and towns now. I haven't spent so much money and time,4hrs! at the shops in ages,it was a great experience.

Once a thriving shopping center, Grace church centre has become another place of closing/closed shops, larger retailers have gone and there are more coffee shops competing with each other. Redevelopment is beginning, with apartments and offices above retail is the forward thinking. Independent shops appear, and are a welcome sight, but how do they survive in this low footfall area? Some don't stay long. Waterstones, Boots, Specsavers, Nationwide BS, House of Fraser, H&M, WHSmith are the main stays, and carparking is ample and average price. Aldi is the busiest shop today. A few years may bring a new shopping experience

It's not a bad place to shop the car park entry a bit daunting as it is a spiral driveway to parking spaces. There seems to be a good range of shops but it was quiet that maybe due to time of day. A good range of shops in the centre and parade. It was clean bright place to be. They had a beach area that was good for the kids to play in with buckets spades and deck chairs for adults.

a bit sad looking as many empty shops. it is clean and tidy place but overrun by school kids toilet is clean. they often do events like food fair. house of Fraser looks very boring as not much to get for presents. they do have cafe.

This shopping centre is now so run down and a disgrace to The Royal Town. So many empty shops and boarded up frontages. Avoid and go to Lichfield or Tamworth.

Fluffy crispy jacket potatoes they discontinued the bean curry which was really nice. But a good variety of fillings. The best place for jacket potatoes a great lunch stop

Fabulous jackets as always! Cheese & beans and Chicken Jalfrezi & cheese with 2 bottles of Pepsi Max all for £15 👍🏼

So my daughter always comes here never a problem on 2 different occasions she was served by 2 different ladies both times bad experiences charged 5.80 for 2 prices of beef and a chunk of fat said no more then again with another lady this time no beef curry rang and complained he said oh il sort it out lol no he didn’t the cheek of it they had no beef curry so she settled for chicken jalfrezi and he had the cheek to charge absolute joke you ought to be ashamed of your selves personally I think it’s a overpriced rip off

Lovely healthy spuds. Great choice of toppings can’t see the food rating and it’s a CASH ONLY establishment

Been in this shop 3 times and the potatoes have been consistently good although for the price I do feel that the portion of filling was quite small for the price. I give three stars because each time I have visited and been served by a man I have found him to be quite miserable and lacking in customer interaction except for the basic "what filling do you want " . Maybe I've caught him on 3 bad days but it does set an uncomfortable atmosphere 😕...I love a baked potato but with the amount of different choices of food outlets I don't think I'll visit again.

Visited today was amazing haven’t been to Sutton for a while definitely be back soon food was brilliant 😊👏

It’s hard to find a local establishment that provides such efficient service, tasty food and plenty of options while maintaining such a wholesome sense of community that Teds Baked Potatoes does. Incredible option for lunch with the fastest service in the area. Staff are absolutely lovely. 100% recommend.
