Getting here
The NEC is accessible by numerous transport options:
You’ll find the NEC clearly signposted from all motorways and major routes including the M42, M40 and M6 – just pop B40 1NT in your sat nav to get to the NEC Site. Once on site please stop using your Sat Nav and follow the digital screens to direct you to the car park.
After parking, simply jump on the free shuttle bus, or take a leisurely stroll along the signposted footpaths.
The post code will not take you to the car park for the event, so please ignore your Sat Nav and follow signage instead.
Keep up to date with what’s happening on the roads – plan your journey in advance and find out the latest traffic information when you’re here, available on Highways England’s website.
Over 120 National Express and Megabus coach services run daily across the UK to Birmingham Airport.
You won’t even need to brave the elements. Direct services run all day, however if you’re travelling from further afield you may need to catch a connecting train at Birmingham New Street, which is less than a 15-minute journey away. Just enough time to fuel up on caffeine!
For more information, visit National Rail or call them on 08457 484950.
Simply take the free and fast air-rail link to Birmingham International Railway Station located at the upper level of Terminal 1. The train runs every two minutes and only takes 90 seconds. When you arrive just head straight through to the NEC.
