If you are travelling by car, all parking is free for Source Home & Gift visitors, The NEC has created a short film about where blue badge holders are able to park, you can watch here.
If you are arriving by taxi be sure to have your Blue Badge with you, as you can be dropped off at the main entrances. If you also require a pick-up, please advise the taxi that you have a blue badge and they will have access to pick you up from the main entrances.
Getting around Source Home & Gift
All areas of the NEC are wheelchair accessible, via ramps and lifts as well as providing wheelchair-friendly toilet facilities. The Piazza and Atrium main entrances have automatic doors.
Wheelchair hire is also free for any blue badge holders, however, they are only available on a first come first serve basis. We therefore recommend you to reserve in advance by emailing the NEC at: info@necgroup.co.uk or, alternatively bring your own if you have one.
