Venue, Accommodation and Travel

ICC Birmingham



Let’s be honest, you don’t want to spend all your time travelling and feel exhausted before you even arrive at the ICC. That’s where our handy central location and unrivalled transport connectivity makes all the difference. And with 90% of the UK within a 4 hour drive time of the ICC, most of our visitors enjoy the option of either travelling home after the event, or remaining in Birmingham overnight – whichever’s more convenient.

Accommodation

We have partnered with MICE Concierge to provide you with a free online accommodation booking service. This is a flexible service which allows you to book accommodation to suit your needs and budget. Special rates have been negotiated at a number of accommodation options close to the congress venue.

Getting there

By Car
If you’re driving to the ICC, you’ll have no problems finding it as Birmingham is at the heart of the UK’s motorway networks, close to the M6, M5 and M42. And when you get here, you’ll find parking’s a walk in the park thanks to the thousands of spaces near to the venue. The closest spaces are at ICC sister venue Utilita Arena Birmingham (King Edward’s Road, B1 2AA).  Mobile payments can be made upon arrival at the Arena car park via www.parkjockey.com/pay, quoting location code 5020.

Visitors arriving by car will need to be aware of Birmingham's Clean Air Zone. The ICC and associated visitor car parks are located within this area. Daily charges apply to vehicles entering the zone which do not comply with the zone's criteria. For further information, and to check if your car is Clean Air Zone compliant, please click here.

By Train
If you’re jumping on the train you’ll find three stations to choose from, all in the city centre, and all just a short walk from the ICC with New Street Station the closest.

On Foot
With a wealth of landmarks to view along the way including the impressive Library of Birmingham, walking to the ICC from the city centre offers the most scenic route to the venue. From New Street head up to Victoria Square and follow the signs to Centenary Square, the ICC and Utilita Arena Birmingham. Enter Centenary Square and walk straight towards the ICC, passing the stunning Library of Birmingham and Rep Theatre on your right.

By Air
Joining us by plane? No problem, Birmingham Airport is the only UK airport with a train station connected to the terminal, which means it takes just a ten-minute train ride to get into Birmingham New Street. If you’d prefer to jump in a taxi, you’ll find a rank directly outside the airport.
