Virgin trains offer a 25% discount on train tickets if you are travelling to an event at the NEC. Tickets have to be booked via the link on the page below and the discount is only available for the part of the journey operated by Virgin trains so you may have to split your ticket.

I've just booked my tickets for FoQ and have made a small saving, perhaps enough for a FQ.

It is the National Exhibition Centre on the outskirts of Birmingham, near the airport. It is linked by covered walkways to Birmingham International station which make getting the train quite convenient.

Festival of Quilts is held there in August each year and there are several other sewing/craft shows during the year.
