What better way to take five than next to our stunning lake? With integrated seating which arc’s around the beach, you can grab a front row seat to watch our resident geese peacefully swim by. Why not grab a Starbucks on your way to the waterside and enjoy a coffee break with an extra shot of vitamin D.

If you're joining us for an event in the Piazza, make sure you take a break outside and enjoy our peaceful lakeside gardens. Simply head out of the front entrance and you'll find this tranquil green space less than a minutes walk away. It's the perfect quiet spot to get some fresh air and a moment to yourself.

Our colourful Piazza Gardens offer a vibrant yet quiet haven away from your event. Located opposite Hall 3, you can stay close to the action but still enjoy a little time outside for a change of scenery and some fresh air.

The campus' best kept secret can be found at Sky By The Water in Resorts World. The Secret Garden is a beautiful outdoor space complete with cosy covered pods and a stunning glass bar area, all in a secluded rooftop setting. It's the ideal spot for catch-ups over cocktails.

Located next to the lake and beach is another area perfect for a lunchtime break. Lined with picnic benches, you can grab a seat outside and take in all of the scenery and greenery nearby. It's a calming spot ideal for refuelling and refreshing mid-event.

Enjoy a bite to eat or quench your thirst at Wetherspoons and take your pick of indoor or outdoor seating. Located in the main Piazza foyer, this visitor favourite boasts a pub garden at the back providing the perfect place to unwind post-event with a well deserved tipple.

The Atrium side of the NEC campus also benefits from easy access to outdoor space so you can always grab a breath of fresh air no matter where your event is. Take a stroll past Hall 16 and enjoy the greenery right outside the entrance, perfect for a little escape.

Our abundance of varied outdoor space even extends to having our very own bike track! Used by some of our Organisers for their events, this versatile space is a great way to explore the scenery on two wheels.
