The Venue

The National Exhibition Centre is the busiest exhibition centre in Europe, staging more than 180 exhibitions each year ranging from world-famous public shows such as Clotheshow Live and Crufts to international trade exhibitions such as IPEX and Glee.

Up to four million people visit The NEC each year. With 21 halls totalling 200,000 square metres it is the biggest exhibition centre in Britain and seventh largest in Europe.
