The National Exhibition Centre, known as NEC Birmingham, anchors the West Midlands events calendar at B40 1NT. With 18 interconnecting halls and flexible spaces, it hosts everything from blockbuster consumer shows like Crufts, Motorhome and Caravan Show, and Comic Con Birmingham to immersive brand experiences and seasonal markets. Its campus layout makes it easy to explore multiple halls in a single day, with wide concourses and clear wayfinding.
Getting there is simple. The NEC links directly to Birmingham International station via a covered walkway, sits by the M42 at Junction 6, and is minutes from Birmingham Airport. Onsite parking is extensive, pay on the day or pre-book when offered, and accessible bays are available close to entrances. Expect plentiful food and drink, from grab-and-go stands inside the halls to restaurants and entertainment at nearby Resorts World.
Plan ahead by checking your hall number, entrance, and bag policy, and build in time for queues at peak sessions.
