NEC MH Show 15th thru 20th October (8 Viewers)

[Augusta08]

Was hoping to go to the NEC show but the on-site temporary camp is understandably fully booked. What are the alternatives, drive down in the car I s'pose.

Or maybe the train? but that would stop us buying anything and taking it away.....

I've been put off by the 2 hour queue to get off the M42 into the NEC last year

In a similar position as we have won two tickets and too late for the camping. Is it easy enough to go in and out from the NEC to the car park? Our dog is fine being left for a little while and we have a camera. Would want to pop back though just in case.

There's plenty of space to take a MH, even if you're not on the campsite. However, after an horrendous experience of trying to get into the car parks from the M42 last year (it took about 40 minutes to do about four miles) this February I stayed locally and went across to the NEC early. I breakfasted in my van while I watched others arriving, and the steady stream of walkers going to the on-site Starbucks.

It's easy enough, but the distances can be pretty long, as can the queues for the buses. Personally, I'm not sure I'd go out of the show to my van, and then back again into the show. I'm sure others have done so, though.

I've booked at the Hollies C&CC. From there it's a one mile walk to Berkswell station with direct trains to Birmingham International. Maybe worth a try?

Around the NEC traffic is not good right now. They are building a new interchange to serve the airport and the NEC…on top of that HS2 is creating havoc so the M42 is on a continual go slow. I travel through it all 3 times a week and always allow an extra hour.
If visiting the NEC travel early get there at 8am and wait for it to open…or travel after 10 when traffic is less but you will still queue. Don’t attempt to exit NEC between 4.30 and 6.30pm.
Sounds horrendous…it is
