Which nights should you book for Arenacross?
The event is on Sunday, 6 February 2027 only. However, motorsport race weekends typically span three days — practice, qualifying, and race — and attendees often book multiple nights to cover the full weekend. If you plan to attend pre-race activities or want flexibility for travel timing, consider booking from Friday 4 February through Sunday 6 February. Since single-night stays near circuits sell out quickly, booking all three nights together is advisable if availability allows.
How do you get to National Exhibition Centre?
All listed hotels are within walking distance of the National Exhibition Centre — the closest is Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham at 2 minutes’ walk, and the furthest listed is Premier Inn Birmingham City Centre Bridge Street at 6 minutes’ walk. Walking is strongly recommended, as traffic in and out of the venue is the biggest complaint for motorsport events. Ride-share drop-off is available at the NEC precinct, but services thin out late — check the last departure before you go. There is a train station within the precinct, and buses serve the area, though journey times by public transport are not provided.
Where do you eat and drink after the race weekend?
After the event ends, you’ll find pubs, bars, and casual dining options within a few minutes’ walk of the NEC, particularly around the nearby city centre and Brindleyplace. Several of the listed hotels — including SACO Birmingham - Brindleyplace and Hyatt Regency Birmingham — are close to these areas and offer on-site or adjacent food and drink venues.
What is the area around National Exhibition Centre like?
The National Exhibition Centre is located on the eastern edge of Birmingham, adjacent to the Birmingham International transport hub and near the suburb of Marston Green. The immediate precinct is purpose-built for large events, with wide walkways, clear signage, and direct links to transport. A short walk west brings you into Birmingham’s city centre, where you’ll find a mix of modern developments, historic architecture, and varied dining and nightlife. The area is well-served but feels functional rather than residential — expect high footfall on event days and quieter streets outside peak hours.
