NEC Birmingham

NEC Birmingham is an exhibition space that has 20 interconnected halls set in a space of 611 acres. It was built next to Birmingham Airport and Birmingham International Railway Station and opened in 1976.

It was the venue of the Art & Antiques For Everyone fair which previously took place three times per year, as well as the Art, Antiques & Interiors Expo which was launched after the former event was cancelled in 2023.
