Disabled Access

Mobility Access at the NEC

We strive to ensure that individuals who need help wth accesibility or have disabilities can fully enjoy the UK Games Expo. To facilitate this, we have compiled the following information:

Getting to the Venue

By Train: From Birmingham International Railway Station, access to The NEC is via the sheltered ‘Bridge link’.

By Taxi: If you have a Blue Badge, taxis can drop you off at the main entrances. For pick-up, inform the taxi company that you are a Blue Badge holder, and they can pick you up from the same location. T.O.A. black cabs can also pick up at the ranks by the main entrances.

By Car: The NEC has recently upgraded the facilities for disabled parking and onward travel to the venue. Follow our Getting to UKGE instructions for reaching the venue, then head for accessible/ disabled parking bays.
