| Its location at the heart of the UK’s motorway network means the NEC is less than 3hrs drive for 75% of the UK. Search B40 1NT in your GPS/sat nav, or follow the signs from all major routes including the M42, M40 and M6 motorways.
Parking is free for our visitors and exhibitors, and there are more than 16,500 parking spaces! Simply follow the January Furniture Show signs. Free shuttle buses will drop you to the nearest entrance, or you can follow the signposted footpaths. |
The NEC is connected to Birmingham International Airport by a free and fast air-rail link. It runs every 2 minutes, taking just 90 seconds to travel between the airport Terminal 1 (upper level) and Birmingham International train station. From there, it's just a short walk into the exhibition halls, which are clearly signposted. |
