Accommodation for Stoneleigh Park Trade Show Exhibitors — Central Rugby Base
Exhibiting at a trade show at Stoneleigh Park? Apart Hotel Rugby is a practical base for exhibitors, stand teams and event crews — about 31 minutes’ drive from the venue. Self check-in 24/7 for late build-up and early show days, kitchenettes for a proper breakfast, free parking, weekly rates across show plus build and breakdown, and multi-room blocks for the stand team.
Stoneleigh Park near Kenilworth — home to NAEC Stoneleigh — is one of the UK’s leading exhibition and event venues. Formerly the National Agricultural Centre, it combines over 21,000m² of indoor exhibition space with 250 acres of outdoor event space, hosting agricultural, automotive and trade exhibitions across the year, from major consumer shows to specialist industry events.
Exhibiting is far more than the show days themselves. There’s the stand build the day before, long hours on the stand across the event, and breakdown afterward — often a run of four, five or more consecutive long days with early starts and late finishes. A standard hotel with an 11pm reception cut-off and no kitchen doesn’t fit that rhythm. Apart Hotel Rugby does: self check-in 24/7, kitchenettes in every room, free parking, weekly rates, and multi-room blocks for the whole stand team.

Why exhibitors choose Apart Hotel Rugby
Samodzielna odprawa 24 godziny na dobę, 7 dni w tygodniu
Stand build often runs late the day before a show, and show days start early. Your smart-lock door code (the last 4 digits of your reservation) works whenever you arrive — no reception desk to catch after a late build-up or before an early departure.
Aneks kuchenny w każdym pokoju
A proper breakfast before an early stand opening beats a rushed hotel buffet — and a real meal after a long day on your feet beats another takeaway. Induction hob, fridge, microwave in every room; full oven in Premium Studio and Deluxe Apartment.
Weekly rates for the full run
A trade show is rarely just the show days — add build-up and breakdown and you’re often looking at a week or more. Weekly rates from 7 nights with free housekeeping make the full run far better value than nightly pricing.
Multi-room blocks for the team
Stand teams travel together. We coordinate multiple rooms in one booking — contact us directly with team size and dates and we’ll hold rooms together for the exhibitor group.
A practical base for a trade show
The logistics of exhibiting are relentless: get the stand built, keep it staffed through the show, handle the leads and the follow-ups in the evenings, and pack it all down at the end. A good base makes that manageable — somewhere you can settle in for the full run, feed yourself properly, keep on top of laundry, and park without hassle.
Apart Hotel Rugby is set up for exactly that. Self-contained rooms with kitchenettes, free laundry, free parking, weekly rates, and a quiet residential setting in Rugby — a calmer end to a long show day than a busy hotel near the showground. Rugby’s central Midlands position also keeps you within reach of other regional venues if your show schedule spans more than Stoneleigh.
What’s included for exhibitors
- Samodzielna odprawa 24 godziny na dobę, 7 dni w tygodniu via smart lock — door code is the last 4 digits of your reservation, works for late build-up and early show days
- Aneksy kuchenne z płytą indukcyjną — proper breakfast before the stand opens, real meals after a long day
- Klimatyzacja in every room — a comfortable, controllable room to recover in after being on your feet all day
- Bezpłatny parking na miejscu (6 spaces) plus free Railway Terrace street parking 18:00–08:00 — leave from a known spot each morning

- Ceny tygodniowe przy pobycie od 7 nocy with free housekeeping — better value across show, build and breakdown

Room types for exhibitors and stand teams
Małe studio / Pokój dwuosobowy
Compact, efficient, with kitchenette and en-suite. The economical pick for a solo exhibitor or two team members sharing, especially on weekly rates.
Studio typu Deluxe
More space and natural light, with a comfortable seating area to work in — write up leads in the evening after the show floor closes.
Studio Premium
Full conventional oven and 3-in-1 microwave/oven/grill — the best pick for exhibitors who want proper self-catering across a multi-day run.
Apartament typu Deluxe
Largest option, fully equipped kitchen. Good for a senior team member, or to share among a small stand team wanting a communal space.
Stand teams and multi-day exhibitions
A trade show stand is usually a team effort — sales staff, product specialists, and crew for build and breakdown. We coordinate multiple rooms in one booking so the whole team stays in the same place, checks in around the same time, and can regroup in the evenings. Contact us directly with team size, show dates (including build and breakdown days), and any invoicing or purchase-order requirements.
For the full show run — build day, show days, breakdown day — weekly rates from 7 nights with free housekeeping usually work out considerably better than nightly pricing, and give the team a stable base for the duration rather than checking in and out.
Regular exhibitors: if your company exhibits at Stoneleigh events each year, mention previous stays when you book direct — we keep notes on room preferences for repeat exhibitor guests.
