Sports-lovers rejoice: the Olympics and Paralympics are almost upon us and, to honour the Games, the city’s favourite retail destination has created the Bullring Fanstand.

Taking over St Martins Square, Central Street and the Bullring terrace, the Bullring Fanstand will bring the excitement of Paris direct to Brum, complete with a big screen, bleachers, and a bar to enjoy all the action.

One of only 11 official fan-zones in the country, the Bullring Fanstand proudly has the TeamGB mark of approval as the best place to catch the Games. With a huge screen and deck full of seats: there’s only one place to be this summer.

The Olympics will run from 26 July until 11 August, while the Paralympics will take place from 28 August until 8 September. During this time, the Bullring Fanstand will have all the action, free to watch and enjoy in the city centre: from athletics, archery, and artistic gymnastics; to swimming, sailing, and skateboarding.

While the Bullring Fanstand is designed to be the perfect spot for sports lovers, there’s still plenty to enjoy for non-sports-buffs. Visitors to the Bullring Fanstand can also look forward to:

- Live entertainment: talent from around the city will be putting on spectacular shows throughout the weeks; including a performing arts takeover by Birmingham Weekender from 23-26 August
- Photo opportunities: strike a winning pose at the Bullring Fanstand with selfie-spots galore
- Exclusive giveaways: Exciting prizes and memorabilia will be up for grabs for those taking parting in the day’s activities
