How to get there
-
By Car
The NEC is in the perfect location for car travel - 8 miles east of Birmingham city centre, and at the heart of the UK motorway network.
With 16,500 spaces available, we’ve got plenty of room for you. Follow the electronic signage, or directions provided by our traffic team, to get you to the right car park area for your event. Once you’ve parked, you can either take a free shuttle bus, or walk to the halls using our sign-posted footpaths.
-
By Train
The NEC is right next to Birmingham International rail station. You can get to any of our halls quickly and conveniently, without having to step outside!
The NEC entrance is on the right hand side as you exit the station, and clearly sign-posted.
Many services run direct to Birmingham International. If yours doesn’t, you can catch a connecting train at Birmingham New Street. There are regular services, and the journey only takes 10-15 minutes. Buses to the NEC can be caught at Birmingham Moor Street and Solihull stations. For further information call National Rail enquiries on +44 (0)8457 484950.
