Travelling by car?

The NEC is signposted from all motorways and major routes including the M42, M40 and M6 – use postcode B40 1NT into your Sat Nav.

Once you arrive on site, please follow the digital screens which will display the show name for directions to the relevant car park. Then hop onto one of the free shuttle buses to access the venue. (NB: blue badge holders should follow the appropriate blue signage and ensure their blue badge is visible to traffic staff).

Pre-pay for parking online before the day of your visit and you can make a saving of £5* (T&Cs apply). That's one less thing to think about on the day! *Offer only applies to the standard on-the-day rate.

Travelling by train?

Getting to us by train is brilliantly easy as the NEC is located a five-minute walk away from Birmingham International Railway Station.

Direct services operate throughout the day, but if you're travelling from a distant location, you may need to transfer to Birmingham New Street, which is less than a 15-minute ride away. Ample time to grab a coffee boost! For further details, check out National Rail.
