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