We’re the nation’s most connected and convenient venue

By road - The NEC is at the heart of the national motorway network with 75% of the UK population within a 3 hour drive time. We have the capacity to park up to 16,500 vehicles at any one time, with a shuttle bus service straight to the halls.

By rail and air - Birmingham International railway station is just a 5 minute covered walk away and Birmingham Airport is connected by a 90-second monorail, running every 2 minutes - so you don’t even need to step outside.

Coming soon! - A new 3km runway extension at Birmingham Airport will be fully operational from 1st May opening up routes to China, South America, South Africa and the US West Coast . The HS2 Birmingham Interchange will bring high speed railway to our doors in the next few years.

The NEC is easy to get to from anywhere in the UK, Europe and beyond. And you can stay in style, with over 2,195 hotel rooms on site.

Free WiFi is available for visitors across the venue too.
