The NFE 2026 Countdown: Your Essential Guide to Stoneleigh Park

With only four weeks to go until the National Funeral Exhibition (NFE) 2026, the industry is buzzing with anticipation. Returning to the NAEC Stoneleigh from 11th to 13th June, this year’s event is set to be a landmark occasion for funeral professionals across the UK.

At Funeral Notices, we want to ensure your visit is as productive as possible. Whether you’re a regular attendee or this is your first time at the NFE, here is everything you need to know to navigate the show with ease.

Plan your journey around the official exhibition opening hours:

Thursday 11th June: 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM

Friday 12th June: 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM

Saturday 13th June: 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM

We are thrilled to confirm that you can find the Funeral Notices team at Stand 366 in Hall 2. We’ve designed our space to be a hub for conversation. Whether you want to discuss the latest shifts in local digital search, learn about our £30-a-month unlimited digital notices subscription, or see our Funeral Manager integration in action, our Account Managers will be on hand with a warm welcome (and a much-needed sit down!).

Where can I park?

Parking at Stoneleigh Park is completely free for all NFE visitors. With over 10,000 spaces available on-site, you won’t have to worry about finding a spot.

Top Tip: Follow the yellow AA signs as you approach the venue. If you are using a SatNav, use the postcode CV8 2LZ.

Do I need to register in advance?

Yes. We highly recommend registering for your free ticket on the official NFE website before you arrive. This allows you to walk straight into the halls and start your day immediately. You can register here.

Is there food available on-site?

There are several catering hubs located within the halls offering hot and cold food. However, these areas get very busy between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM. If you’re looking for a quieter moment to chat about your business, feel free to pop by Stand 366 during these hours for a sit-down and a friendly face.

What should I wear for the NFE?

Think smart, meeting and networking attire. Our industry prides itself on professionalism, so you can expect people to look the part.

Prioritise Your Must-See Stands: With over 200 exhibitors, it’s impossible to speak with everyone. Make a list of your "must-visit" partners (like Stand 366!) before you arrive.

Wear Comfortable Shoes: Stoneleigh Park is a large venue. Professional yet comfortable footwear is the "unofficial uniform" of the NFE for a reason.

Network & Connect: The NFE is the one time of year the entire profession is under one roof. Take the time to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.

The way families communicate and search for funeral services is changing. At our stand, we’ll be sharing exclusive data on:

Our Audience: A large portion of our audience is aged 55–74; the exact group is currently arranging funerals and planning for the future.

Digital Donations: How we’ve helped raise over £10 million for charities, removing the admin of cash handling for your team.

Local Brand Protection: How our notices help you dominate your local digital landscape and safeguard your reputation.

We can’t wait to see you in Hall 2! If you’d like to book a specific 15-minute slot to sit down with us during the event, complete the form below.
