About Spring Fair
Spring Fair runs from Sunday 5th February until Thursday 9th February from 09:00 - 18:00 and brings together an inspirational showcase of over 340 British greetings card publishers in Hall 4 at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) Birmingham. This is the biggest trade show of the year for our industry. It attracts buyers from all over the world and is the leading showcase of innovation and creativity in the global Greetings Card market. With the move of the Greetings & Stationery Section from Hall 3 to Hall 4, a new layout aimed at improving flow and the return of card giants Hallmark and Carte Blanche Greetings it should be a fantastic show. Spring Fair attracts over 70,000 visitors and features a massive range of products, so don't miss it!
A Spring Fair App has just been launched to make your visit easier. Download the Spring Fair App for your phone or iPad here.
Where to Stay at Spring Fair
Accommodation can be tough to find when the show is on and places get booked up months in advance. Also hotels close to the show charge much higher rates during this week. A useful tip is to look at hotels in Birmingham City Centre (which is a short train ride from the NEC) and also consider hotels that are 30 minutes away by motorway (people don't usually book these as they look far on the map, when actually they are quite close because the roads are fast). If you are travelling by car it is worth getting in early to avoid the Birmingham rush hour.
How to get to Spring Fair
Travel to the show is easy with excellent rail and motorway links. The NEC post code is B40 1NT (if you use a sat nav). You can park for free in several car parks on site, all of which have free shuttle buses to take you around the complex. Birmingham International Rail Station is a 5 minute walk from the show as is Birmingham International Airport. It is an 80 minute train ride from London Euston Rail Station.

When you get to Spring Fair do remember to come and say hi to us on Stand 4J66.
