Our final UK exhibition each year is held at the NEC Birmingham and is now our largest event in terms of visitors. In 2022 we welcomed 5,599 paying visitors, higher than both Manchester and London. 

Centrally located in England, Birmingham enjoys a large catchment area pulling in visitors from the north, midlands and south-west of the country and agents have always been excited to present their property portfolios in Birmingham. The NEC is a premium venue easily accessible by plane, train and car while offering a broad range of shops, bars and restaurants on-site.

Birmingham Exhibition

As with all A Place in the Sun Live exhibitions, we offer visitors the opportunity to meet with estate agents and professional services, such as lawyers and immigration specialists, who can help with an overseas property purchase. The wide-ranging seminar schedule offers the chance to learn from a range of experts and ask questions on the buying process in various destinations. These sessions are designed to inform and inspire visitors to move forward with their buying plans and engage with our unique range of exhibitors.

  • Main Hub – Daily seminars with stars from the TV show and a range of property experts with the content mainly generic or Spanish, our most popular country.
  • French Village – Bespoke French exhibition area within the main hall including a daily seminar programme on buying and living in France.
  • Seminar Theatre – Daily seminars on a range of countries.
