The NEC is perfectly located in the heart of the west midlands. 8 miles east of Birmingham city centre, and close to the UK motorway network. There are plenty of car parking spaces available onsite at the venue too.
Coach services are operated by National Express and Megabus, with over 120 daily services from across the UK to Birmingham Airport. From here you can get to the NEC in minutes on the free air-rail link.
The NEC is right next to Birmingham International rail station. You can get to the halls quickly without having to step outside! The NEC entrance is on the right hand side as you exit the station, and clearly signposted.
