With the 2026 events season drawing to a close, attention across the construction Equipment industry is firmly turning towards PlantWorx 2027, taking place 22–24 June 2027 at the NEC Birmingham.

Early exhibitor demand has already exceeded expectations, with leading manufacturers committing to the show and securing demonstration space ahead of what promises to be the UK’s premier working construction equipment event.

As excitement continues to build around PlantWorx’s move to the NEC, the organisers are reaffirming exactly what the industry can expect: working machinery, live demonstrations and heavy plant in action remain at the very heart of the show.

The move to the NEC represents an evolution of PlantWorx, providing improved facilities, excellent transport links and a central UK location while retaining the outdoor working environment that has defined the event since its inception.

Live demonstrations and digging are happening
PlantWorx can confirm that live demonstrations, dedicated demo plots, and digging activities will all play a major role throughout the 2027 event.
Dedicated demonstration areas are available for exhibitors wanting to showcase equipment under real working conditions, with several demo plots already secured by exhibitors.
The message is simple: machines will be working, equipment will be digging, and visitors will once again experience construction machinery doing exactly what it was designed to do.

The event will combine modern indoor exhibition halls with extensive outdoor working areas, giving exhibitors the opportunity to demonstrate equipment in real-world conditions while benefiting from the world-class facilities and accessibility of the NEC Birmingham.

Leading brands already committed
The industry’s response has been exceptionally positive. Following the launch of stand sales, exhibitor bookings are already ahead of projected expectations, with companies securing their positions early to ensure they don't miss out.

Among the businesses already announced are Wacker Neuson, Manitou, Magni Telescopic Handlers, Hydrema, Auger Torque and Rototilt, with more leading manufacturers having reserved space and pending announcement.

The early commitment from these recognised brands reflects the confidence the industry has in PlantWorx's next chapter and reinforces its position as the UK's live construction equipment event.

Companies considering exhibiting are encouraged to secure their space sooner rather than later, as prime stand locations and demonstration plots are already attracting significant interest.

Free parking for all PlantWorx visitors
PlantWorx is also pleased to confirm that parking will be free for all PlantWorx visitors at the NEC Birmingham. Combined with the venue’s unrivalled motorway network, rail connections and international airport access, the move makes PlantWorx more accessible than ever for visitors travelling from every part of the UK.
