There are 12 designated bays for Blue Badge holders in Olympia London's Motorail car park. There are 260cm x 480cm (8ft 6in x 15ft 9in).

These parking bays have a marked zone to both sides and rear. Please note that the wide bays are allocated on a first-come first-served basis. If you require a Blue Badge parking space, please remember to pre-book this online as space are limited.

There is a wheelchair accessible registration counter in the National Hall foyer to assist with entering the event.
