Which nights should you book for The Schools & Academies Show?
If you are setting up a stand, plan to arrive on 17 November 2026 and stay overnight before the event. If you are attending only on 18 November, a single night’s stay — either the night before or the night of the event — is typical. Since the event ends on 18 November with no indication of extended hours or post-event activities, most visitors do not need to book beyond that date.

Ride-share drop-off is available at the venue. Buses serve the NEC precinct, and there is a train station within the precinct — services thin out late, so check the last departure before you go.
