How to get to the Town Hall for the National Rock and Pop Festival

The Town Hall is situated in the heart of the City of Birmingham.

 

Town Hall is situated in Victoria Square at the top of New Street.

Due to the close proximity of the National Indoor Arena (NIA), traffic and parking may be problematic on nights when the NIA is hosting large scale events.
