Dear colleagues,
thank you for helping me find a hotel for my clients. Unfortunately, the hotel was a little farther than customers expected, but everything was done without blame.

Craft, Hobby + Stitch International 2025 will be held as a live trade exposition at NEC Birmingham. The hosting date for the event is set for February 23rd to February 24th, 2025. At present, the UK does not have travel restrictions.
CHSI – Craft, Hobby + Stitches International – enjoys a leading position in the craft and hobby industry in the UK, and it is known as the country’s number one creative craft show. Editions tend to bring in over 6 000 buyers from all over the country and Europe on average. Those are specifically good numbers when you count that there are only 200 exhibiting firms on the show floor. If that sounds like a smart business investment, then you need to travel to the NEC in Birmingham, UK for your dose of sales opportunities.
The focus of CHSI is predominantly connecting exhibitors with buyers and as such it exists more as a procurement platform, which sees over 100,000 different products showcased under one roof. The trade fair offers the full breadth of products within craft and hobby – papers, beads, fabrics, instruments, clays, dough materials, painting supplies, and paints. Adding another layer to the experience is the busy support program. The Insights Hub is where you can discover educational resources aimed at running a successful business and new market trends, with workshop sessions running for a total of 50 hours.
Birmingham has much to offer in terms of hotels and guest houses. Why spend hours combing through offers and comparing prices when you can have Travel 2 Fairs Ltd do all this for you? You receive a customised list of deals within a business day courtesy of your very own personal travel assistant, and all you have to do is pick your favourite. Travel 2 Fairs Ltd makes your hotel reservation for Craft, Hobby + Stitches International according to your specification, and we’re comfortable working at any scale. From single travellers to big groups of more than twenty, you get the right hotels close to the NEC.
The 2023 iteration of the event occurred between 2023/02/19 and 2023/02/20 in NEC Birmingham. The event site did not include coronavirus protection during the iteration, which featured 86 exhibiting firms. This was due to the UK repealing its pandemic restrictions.
The 2024 iteration of CHSI occurred between 2024/02/25 and 2024/02/26 in NEC Birmingham. The event featured more than 70 exhibiting firms.

Hi Christine,
your support and professionality has been very appreciated by us. Always available and ready to answer.
Hotel rooms were not that good at least the standard room was too small and old and very noisy as well; bed not comfortable. I guess that for that price at least superior rooms should be the perfect deal with an hotel like that. Good position close to metro and exhibition very easy to reach. As well not so far from center. Receptionists were not so prepared as they always ask to pay our already included breakfast and their german or english language wasn't always that good.
Hope for a better deal next time!
Nice house and nice location to fair ground.
It’s very convenient that the supermarket is just across the street.
The host is also nice to help for transportation to train station.
Only disappointed that the electric kettle is not clean.
all went perfect and smooth thanks
Hi Michelle,

Have a great day.

Hi Megan and Ben,
I would like to thank you for our booking and making our stay super amazing at Mitico! They are so very helpful, made everything so comfortable for us and most certainly you can recommend this hotel to other wheelchair users! We made some recommendations to a lady there, I think it may have been Laura about the bathroom which could use a little improving.
Once again, thank you for you the help offered regarding everything!
For next year I would like to start sourcing for 5 people (1 wheelchair user) as this year because the bookings were so late, we were all around Bologna and the taxi fairs were insane.
Something for us to keep in mind!

This was a very nice hotel and would consider staying again in the future. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were adequate and clean. The hotel is located near the subway station as well as the larger metro station at the Duomo. It was easy to get to the station and get around the city when necessary.
Hello Ben,
All went good!
