Yes, there is car parking for 21,000 vehicles and regular complimentary shuttle buses to and from the main entrances.

British law has always been very strict about who can own or move firearms, ammunition and explosives but this is even more evident now with the continual threat of terrorism. All firearms and explosives must be licensed and there is a total ban on offensive weapons such as knuckle-dusters and flick knives.

It is also against the law to import:

• High voltage electric ‘stun guns’.
• Pepper sprays, CS gas canisters and other self defence sprays. 
• High-powered air rifles.  
• Martial Arts weapons such as death stars and swordsticks.
• Knives that have a concealed blade or a sharp point such as belt buckle blades.

People are not allowed to bring component parts of guns into the country, unless they have a licence for the weapon for which the parts are intended.

All firearms must have a police shotgun licence or firearm certificate as individual gun parts can be put to several uses. Other than legitimate repairs, they can also be used to reactivate guns that have previously been modified to stop them from firing.

Please do not attempt to bring any of the above mentioned products to IFSEC. Failure to heed this warning will result in immediate explusion from the exhibition and possible imprisonment.
