Welcome to the UK’s No.1 exhibition venue, where your vision and plans come to innovative, creative life.The NEC established itself as the UK’s No.1
exhibition venue because of our unmatched
facilities - and we’ve kept that position because
of our commitment to putting our organisers first.
Our goal is to help you achieve the best possible
edition of your show, every time – because we
understand that our success depends on your show’s
success. This approach has made us the UK venue of
choice for over 37 years, whether massive exhibitions
like the Skills Show or Gardeners World Live,
relocations from London such as The Cycle Show,
new launches like 2013’s Best Practice or the many smaller specialist shows we host from a
wide range of sectors.
We’ve got lots of outdoor space available too (over 160 acres of hard-standing and 75
acres of woodland), so anything and everything is possible. In addition, with our central
location and unrivalled connectivity by road, rail and air, your exhibitors and visitors can
get to us and back home in a day, from almost anywhere in the UK.
Combine that with an award-winning events team, award-winning catering and free visitor
WiFi and you can see why we are confident of offering you everything you need to stage
the perfect exhibition.
The NEC is where all sorts of shows flourish and grow – from small to large consumer
or trade shows. Talk to our team about how we can do the same for your event.

Get out and about – and explore!The NEC is the UK’s best connected events venue. Not just because of our superb road, rail and air links, but also because there’s so much on offer just minutes away. It’s just 10 minutes by train into Birmingham,
a city buzzing with life and fun, a fantastic blend
of places to eat and drink and more Michelin
starred restaurants than any other English city
outside London. Fabulous theatres, galleries,
museums, music, nightclubs and bars – and
over 1,000 shops in the city centre alone!
Warwick, with its wonderful castle, arts centre
and charming town centre is within a 25 minute
journey by car. Just beyond lies world famous
Stratford-upon-Avon, with the RSC theatres and
Shakespeare heritage sites.
Relax with some golf – or a little well-earned pamperingYou and your guests can enjoy excellent sporting facilities too. Like golf at The Belfry, spiritual home of the Ryder Cup. It’s set in endless acres of glorious countryside, a mere 15 minutes from the NEC. There’s the Forest of Arden, as well – another great golf resort with highly acclaimed courses. Both of these venues are based around luxurious hotels with spas and lots more. Ideal for a spot of pampering!
At the NEC we’re proud to say that we’re at the centre of the best in English countryside and city life too. It’s all on your doorstep to explore when you bring your exhibitions and events to a venue that really has got it all. Enjoy!
