NEC Birmingham - National Exhibition Centre

Since we opened our doors in 1976, the NEC has become firmly established as one of Europe's most prestigious venues for exhibitions and events - the UK's No. 1 choice for organisers, exhibitors and visitors alike.

Each year, we host over 500 events (in our 20 interconnecting halls and 34 conference suites), including flagship shows like Spring Fair International, which has been with us since we opened, as well as new launches, live events and relocations - along with smaller specialist events.

One of Europe's leading exhibition and event centres, the NEC offers flexible space for any of your events, including ready-made layouts and blank canvases which spark innovation and creativity.

Indoors - over 182,000 square metres of indoor space, 20 interconnecting halls, 34 specialist conference and meetings suites and the 15,643 capacity LG Arena on site.

Outdoors - over 160 acres of hard-standing and 75 acres of woodland to take the shows and the action into the open air too!
