Chapel lane C&MC site Birmingham.

Why not extend to a two day trip and visit the National Arboretum, though it's a lot of walking round over the two days. The National Arboretum really is a worth a visit and they do run a 'bus tour' around the site.

You could try the C&MC site at Withall, just off the M42, not far from NEC to drive on the day. We have used it for an overnight stop. Other one would be Somers Wood, very close to NEC (might even be walkable) but I think they hike their prices that week

It’s about a 5 mile hike from Somers Wood, but direct bus route from down the road in Meridan to NEC. I’d be surprised if they’ve got any availability though. Easy & free parking for MHs at the NEC so no problem staying several miles out.

Thank you for replies, such a shame they don’t do overnights with the clubs like they used to.
Can you return to van for break and lunch extra in the car park ?

Also haven’t been since they closed the temp site, used to enjoy walking around the show, then the evening having food, beer and enjoying the entertainment. Shame they don’t do it anymore.

The CMC temp site was there last October, our daughter used it

Warwick racecourse CMC site appears to have availability that week, not too far to drive.

We booked a night in Kenilworth rugby club car park. You just mail them at camping@kenilworthrugby.co.uk it’s a short drive to the NEC.

We drove up in the morning and then drove over to Stratford Race Course and stayed there, pretty easy drive and a lovely town to walk around.

You could try the Dog and Doublet at Bodymoor Heath, it's just a big pub car park so the usual rules re eating/drinking apply.
