    £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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

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

    Only one cash point that doesn't charge £2 or more per withdrawal! It's at the station end.

    Большой просторный выставочный центр с хорошей логистикой внутри и инфраструктурой. Есть прямой доступ в аэропорт и до станции New Street.
