The NEC is situated adjacent to Birmingham International rail station and is connected by a covered bridge link directly from the station.
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.
You can fly to Birmingham International Airport, which is next to the NEC and has a direct link to the event halls.
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.
