Getting to the NEC and Getting Around the Campus
📍 A New Home for 2026 – NEC Birmingham
Address: NEC, Pendigo Way, Marston Green, Birmingham B40 1NT
The National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham is the largest space in the UK with 20 inter-connecting halls. Six days before the event, we are taking over 3 halls and creating a massive 62 court pickleball venue. We are using this as a fantastic opportunity to create the ideal tournament set up.
The NEC is easy to get to by air, road and rail. It is located near junction 6 of the M42 motorway, adjacent to Birmingham Airport and Birmingham International railway station.
We recommend that players travel by rail if they can as parking is expensive and not all the hotels have free parking.
The National Exhibition Centre is the UK’s number one venue for exhibitions, meetings and conferences.
The NEC welcomes 2.3 million guests and hosts 500 events every year, ranging from seasonal shows to sporting events, there’s an event or show for every occasion or interest!
You’ll be spoilt for choice with the wide variety of food and drink on offer to keep you going throughout your busy visit.
Set on the picturesque Pendigo Lake alongside Resorts World, this is the perfect location if you’re looking to be entertained.
Getting around The NEC
The English OPEN is being held in the Atrium. Enter through the Atrium 2 entrance and turn right. We are using the entrance to Hall 6 for traffic in and out of the tournament. There is a map of the Atrium below. You can download it here.
