Sobre esta Tip
The Rag Market is an indoor market on Edgbaston Street beside the Bull Ring, known for fabrics, haberdashery and household goods. The Bull Ring's trading history began with a charter of 1154 and started with cloth, so textiles suit the place. It is not in Digbeth, so walk down from the Bull Ring instead of heading to the creative quarter. The market does not trade every day, so check its days before you go.
