Arriving by car
The Arena is situated 8 miles east of Birmingham city centre; its central location ensures it is at the hub of the UK motorway network. Visitors from any direction can travel to The NEC site directly using the following motorways - M1, M5, M6, M6 Toll, M40 and M42. Sat Nav users can follow B40 1NT and once on site just look for the directional signage to your event.

We're situated on the NEC site which has over 16,000 parking spaces. On arrival at the NEC, please follow electronic directional signage to your event, which will lead you to the nearest available car park.

The NEC site runs a free convenient shuttle bus service from the East car parks to the Genting Arena on show days. They normally operate from half an hour before Arena doors open time to one hour after the show finishes. All shuttlebuses are wheelchair accessible.

There is no shuttle bus service from the South and West car parks, so we would only advise visitors who are happy to walk to the venue to park here.

The NEC is signposted on motorways and major roads and is marked on most good maps. If you are travelling by car, we recommend that you allow plenty of time for your journey.
