All the space you need

Don’t let our size scare you. In fact, it’s being the UK’s largest venue that better equips us to support smaller events. That’s because with so many versatile halls, we’ll have the perfect space to suit the start of your journey and the flexibility to future-proof your event as it grows. Why not let our team show you around so you can start to picture the possibilities.

Why the NEC?

Our central location? Our unbeatable transport connections? Our flexible spaces? All great reasons of course, but we believe it’s because we truly understand the unique challenges that come with running an exhibition. Like the need for immediate credibility on a launch, the need for reassurance of relocating an event, and ultimately, putting on a show that has your community coming back for more.

24/7 Destination

Work hard, play really really easily. That’s always been our approach when it comes to networking and socialising. And at the NEC you and your visitors can socialise around the clock without ever leaving our bustling campus. We’ve got stylish bars, restaurants galore, even a cinema, casino and spa. Plus seven on-site hotels that cover all budgets.
