SOLEX countdown starts with special hotel offer

 

You can lock in your hotel stay at SOLEX with the exhibition’s special £100 hotel offer including breakfast, which is exclusively available from 1-31 March only.

 

It may be cold outside, but summer planning has officially begun – and with it, the excitement is already building for SOLEX – The Summer Outdoor Living Exhibition at the NEC, Birmingham.

 

To help exhibitors and visitors make the most of the exhibition (and get a head start on those brighter days), SOLEX is delighted to announce that its popular hotel offer returns for the third year running with rooms from only £100 per night including breakfast.

 

The offer will be available to book from 1–31 March, for stay dates 6–8 July, at the following hotels located within the NEC complex:

  • The Genting
  • The Moxy
  • Hilton Metropole
  • Holiday Inn (Birmingham Airport)

A Brand-New and Easy Way To Book — Introducing The SOLEX Hotel Hub 

 This year, the offer will be available through a brand-new Hotel Hub on the SOLEX website, created in conjunction with Helms Briscoe. Designed to make planning simple, the interactive map helps attendees quickly view hotel options, find the best location, and book with ease.

 

And for those who prefer to stay a little further out, the Hotel Hub also includes off-site accommodation options, giving exhibitors and visitors even more choice when planning their visit. 

 

Make Tuesday night count

Staying over on Tuesday night is the perfect way to maximise the SOLEX experience — from the SOLEX Awards and Afterparty, to a bright early start on the show floor the next morning. After all, summer will be here before we know it… and it’s always better when everything you need is right on your doorstep! 

 

So, whether you’re exhibiting, visiting, or networking, staying over is the easiest way to enjoy the show at its best. 

 

The £100 pp offer will be available from 1–31 March only.
