Didn’t know it had gone up to £16. Looks like it’s still £12 if you pay in advance and not on the day.Just to forewarn anyone going that parking is now £16.
I'll also add that you can't get Express parking, I enquired a little while back and was told there isn't any available for The Photography Show, something to do with it being used as disabled parking..?
The cost of parking takes the mick at the NEC
Park at Birmingham International station, £9 all day at weekends. Or park at Coventry station, £5 all day at weekends, and a Coventry - Birmingham international day return ticket is £2.20, total £7.20.The cost of parking takes the mick at the NEC

Does anyone know it coaches from London stop at the NEC ?
I drive for a living and want a day off
New plan for parking..... park in Resort World, £15 for up to 12 hours, discounted to £2 if you spend over £20 in the resort, so we're having dinner before we leave. If you gonna have to spend that much on parking, I'd rather spend it on food instead!
Any idea how far the walk will be and how long it will take?
Closer than the main car parksAbout 2-3 minutes!

I’ll do my best to recognise you but might be difficult lol ,sorry.Yes, on the Monday, most likely with crutches, black trousers and my wife walking with me.
from a manufacturers point of view
all the manufacturers there so for example if you wanted to see what a benro v manfrotto v sirui v 3 legged thing v all the others were like to actually hold and go compare. Same for bags etc. Not often you get to have hands on on such a wide range from all the manufacturers. Same with bags etc. Often small startups will be there too with products you didn't know you needed.
As far as learning, loads of big stage talks and little stand with lighting setup. Lots of models on these stands that sometimes you can practice. It does however sometimes get samey after a number of years going as its unlikely that lighting configurations will change much. And speakers will update you as to what they got up to since the last one.
I see tickets are being sold not for a specific day but if you buy a one day ticket you can chose which day you go,
Daft as the number of people that walk round with their cameras the 70-200 seems to be the favourite and camera bags you’d need a clicker to count.Received an email from the photography show (actually seems to be from the NEC) today stating
“Please arrive as early as possible to allow time for enhanced security checks and we encourage you to only bring essential items. Bags the size of a small laptop bag or handbag are advisable, but small portable empty hand carry trolleys may be allowed into the event.”
I was looking to consider a new camera bag. Therefore ideally wanted to take my current bag with my camera etc so I could check any bags I think are suitable will hold what I want it to. I know previously you could take in your own equipment to try either lens or bags etc. I’llprobably contact them directly to confirm but I assume it’s still going to be ok to bring stuff to trial products.
Any thoughts?

NEC didn't fully answer my question but said that the Photography Show FAQs say you can bring your camera. So I'm taking that means I can take my bag with stuff that I want to try in my quest for a new bag.Received an email from the photography show (actually seems to be from the NEC) today stating

what day you going Rob?I like the sound of your idea. The cost of NEC and premier inn parking (2 days & 1 night) will be more than our premier inn room for the night! We were thinking of going for a meal at resort world too and it will save a little on parking too. Hopefully it will be better than the takeaway pizza we had last year
Any idea how far the walk will be and how long it will take?
