£12 to park - dire restaurants - BYO packed lunch and flask. This is one of the most expensive conference halls in the UK (possibly Europe). Security can be a jobsworth with cameras .

Steve Bell

Great exhibition space with good food outlets on site at reasonable prices. This site is huge - allow plenty of time to get from the car parks , especially if using the buses .

Daniel Ley

Free shuttle bus from the car park . Always recommend pre booking your parking or you'll spend ages queuing up for a ticket!

Crazycol

Haves visited events here a few times and enjoyed them all.Close to the station and hotels .Make sure you check which hall your event is in as the place is huge.

Rich HR

Park at international station as off peak it's only £5 - half the price of parking at the NEC

E Ngare

Awkward venue, compared to Excel. Always have food and drink with you as prices are too high. Have comfortable shoes as you will walk a lot.

Anand Basu-Attwood

Avoid huge queues for food & take the 5 min walk to Resorts World to find Costa, Starbucks, Pat Val, TGI's, Nando's, GBK, Pizza Express, Las Iguanas & Andy Waters to sate your appetite

Ellen Wozencraft

Absolutely HUGE - wear comfortable shoes ! Very accessible with Birmingham International just a short walk away!

Mark Boulton

If you're coming by train and your event is in Halls 7-12 allow plenty of time to get back to the station, it's a seriously long walk !

Wend Jrdn

15.00 parking when the event we went to only cost 20.00 to go to is madness

B P

A huge place, if you are told its a 10 minute walk, it's a 10 minute. Be prepared to find it hard to find seating and paying £10 to park .

Howard Wrigjt

Great centre lots of space to wander about.

Mehmet Sari
