Parking
There are extensive car parks at the Hilton, but we recommend arriving early if you want a space near the hotel entrance. The Hilton is offering the reduced rate of £5 for parking – take your ticket at the barrier on the way in, and present this with your payment at the ticket desk inside The King’s Suite (between 10.30am - 12.30pm and 2.30pm - 4.30pm). You can pay by cash or credit card, and you will be given an exit ticket. To avoid a bottleneck, we strongly recommend that you pay for your ticket in the morning. Please be advised that the car parks fills up on a first come first served basis - if you use the NEC overflow car park, NEC charges may apply. There will be a shuttle bus between 10.30am and 11.30am running from the NEC East One car park (for any overflow parking) to the Metropole.
