Birmingham city council has confirmed it will be selling the National Exhibition Centre in order to help pay a £1bn bill for equal pay cases.
The centre, which attracts 2.1million visitors a year from across the country, has been the venue of hundreds of concerts, conferences and events since it opened in 1976. The council confirmed on Wednesday that it was selling off the entire NEC Group, which includes the NEC, the International Convention Centre in the city centre and two arenas: the LG Arena and the National Indoor Arena.
Whether you’re a fan of Crufts or have seen the likes of the Arctic Monkeys at this iconic arena, we want to hear your memories from the NEC. Share your photos, videos and stories with GuardianWitness and we’ll choose the most interesting to feature on the site.
