Source Garden is dedicated to inclusivity, ensuring our event is accessible to all visitors. Below is essential information to help you plan your visit. 

Travelling to and from Source Garden

Location: 

Source Garden  takes place at the NEC Birmingham, conveniently connected to Birmingham City Airport and Birmingham International train station, both providing step-free access. For details on accessible train facilities, visit the national rail website. 

By Car: 

Parking is free for Source Garden visitors, and The NEC offers a video guide for more accessible blue badge parking. This is available here.

By Taxi: 

Blue Badge holders are allowed to be dropped off at the main entrances of the NEC, so remember to bring it with you! For pick-ups, notify your taxi service about your Blue Badge to allow access to the main entrances. 

Getting around Source Garden 

The NEC is fully wheelchair accessible, featuring ramps, lifts, and wheelchair-friendly toilets. The Piazza and Atrium entrances have automatic doors. 

Wheelchair Hire: 

Free wheelchair hire is available for Blue Badge holders on a first-come, first-serve basis. You can reserve in advance by emailing info@necgroup.co.uk but, due to a limited supply, it is recommended you bring your wheelchair, if you have one already. 

Facilities, spaces and dining 

Accessible toilets are located throughout the venue. Changing Places facilities are near Hall 20 (Atrium side) and Hall 2 (Piazza side), and these require a radar key. Download the Atrium and Piazza map here.  

Dining: 

There are numerous dining and seating options within and around the NEC Birmingham halls, including the Source Garden buyers lounge. More details on NEC dining can be found here. 

 

Companions and assistance animals  

Assistance animals are welcome. Ensure they are identifiable with a support vest and visible at all times. Owners are responsible for their animals, which must be on a lead or harness.
