So with one day parking at the NEC a whopping £12 -- this deal might be useful. The nearby train station of Berkswell provides almost 100 free parking spaces, and sells direct tickets to Birmingham International Station (same building as NEC) // for £3.30 Adult and £1.65 Child. For example a family of 4 (2Ad 2Ch) will cost £9.90 compared to £12 at the NEC // Though its only a small saving, travelling this way is likely to be a lot easier. Hope this helped someone -- Max

If there are a number of you, is it cheaper to park at Birmingham International and walk through?
I have done this a few times and I'm sure it's around a fiver, albeit you then have a 10-15 minute walk to the halls.

depends how many of you travel: if only the 2 of you its still cheaper to free park and go on train. also for me the train stations are closer to my house than the actual nec.

anyway even by train you still have 10/15 minute walk although there are travelators now so takes less time

Or just find someone who is has a disabled badge and take them for a day out....they usually get free parking right next to the entrance and helpers sometimes get in at a reduce price/free.

What if we are students from schools who are in the competitions? Do we still pay for the parking?

Good tip for anyone on their own who wants to save on the £6 (after 11am) charge at BHI.

There's also a list here of stations round Birmingham showing how many spaces each car park has, and if it's free or charged.
