Celebrating Poplar Road on Small Business Saturday
As Christmas inches steadily closer, most Brummies have become accustomed to the swarms of frenzied shoppers that descend upon the Bullring each weekend, scouring the season’s offerings for the perfect gift. But little do they know that just a stone’s throw (or a ride on the number 50 bus) away from the clamour of town, sits a comparable oasis of calm, equipped with the very best that independent Birmingham has to offer.
Home to a dazzling array of funky boutiques and charming local eateries, Poplar Road is, for many, the jewel in the Kings Heath crown and in celebration of Small Business Saturday, we would like to highlight why. Let’s take a stroll…
Personalise Your Gift Shopping
Brimming with creativity and passion, Poplar Road is a shining example of both dedicated craftsmanship and artisanal spirit, making it the perfect place to personalise your gift shopping.
For sentimental pieces that are sure to impress your loved ones, pop by The Jewellery Stop, and its neighbour, AA Jewellers. Discover an enchanting world of curated literature and handmade goodies at The Book Tower. Offer someone the gift of selfcare with a bespoke selection of products from Harvest’s organic skincare range. And just before you head back towards the High Street, take a moment to marvel at the magic of the festive wonderland that adorns the windows of Seesaw Opticians.
Looking to make a bigger purchase? Whether it’s a sewing machine, a computer or antique furniture, Poplar Road has got you covered.
Ready the Home for Christmas Visitors
With the arrival of Christmas guests now very much on the horizon, why not refresh those forgotten corners in your home with some added greenery?
Upgrade your living space with any one of the weird and wonderful plants on display at Root13, and embrace the seasonal spirit with a full-sized Christmas tree from Contrasts Florist.
And Relax…
After a busy afternoon on your feet, step back from the chaos of Christmas preparations and treat yourself to a spot of indulgence.
Begin with a revitalising facial from Harvest Skincare, followed by a beauty treatment at Ela Studios, or a trim at Mankind Barbers. Finally, before the holiday madness resumes, round off the day with a culinary treat to suit any taste at Biscotto Café, Veg Darbar, Nauka 42 or Mansa Musa – the perfect ending to your Poplar Road escape!
