NEC Birmingham
Directions: Google Maps · Apple Maps
Getting there
- The NEC is about a five-minute walk from Birmingham International station (about 10 minutes on the shared cycle and footpath route).
- From Birmingham Airport, the free Air-Rail Link from Terminal 1 runs every two minutes to Birmingham International, then walk straight through to the NEC.
- For local buses, the NEC points to Network West Midlands' journey planner.
- Taxis drop off at the Piazza drop-off and pick-up area or the Atrium entrance; taxi ranks are at the main entrances. If you have access needs, the NEC can let your car or taxi through to the drop-off point closest to the venue: tell the gate staff.
Parking
- The NEC has over 16,500 parking spaces; electronic signs point you to a car park as you arrive.
- Booking ahead saves £5 on the standard rate if you book before midnight the day before.
- Parking is cashless: card or phone only. Without a booking, pay before you leave.
- Accessible spaces are first come, first served, booked or not. The NEC may check Blue Badges.
- Motorbikes park free (not in the Express car parks).

Good to know
- Cloakrooms are next to each hall: £2 a coat and £3 a bag. They open 30 minutes before the show and close when it closes; nothing can be left overnight.
- You may be searched; declining a search or carrying offensive weapons can get you refused entry.
- New entries stop an hour before the show closes, and there's no re-entry in the last 30 minutes.
