Traditionally, Plantworx has been held every two years in June, but the 2025 event marks a brand new chapter for the event. The need for relocation was prompted by repurposing the previous venue in Peterborough for housing developments, making the move to Newark necessary for Plantworx’s continued success and growth. Following a comprehensive search for a location that meets the unique needs of this large-scale event, Newark Showground was chosen due to its excellent infrastructure, permanent walkways and impressive communication facilities. Plantworx is owned and delivered by the CEA (Construction Equipment Association). Simon Frere-Cook, Plantworx Event Director said: “As we gear up for Plantworx 2025, our focus has been on building upon the success of the previous events. The thorough selection process led us to Newark, which excels in infrastructure flexibility, accessibility, and the reliability of its outdoor spaces, which are crucial for hosting an event of Plantworx’s scale. “While we can’t guarantee the weather, Newark is highly regarded for its grounds’ quality and reliability, ensuring events run smoothly regardless of weather conditions. This new venue promises not only a continuation of the event’s legacy but also an expansion of its impact and reach within the construction industry,” Simon concluded. Key features of the Newark Showground venue for Plantworx 2025 include 126 acres of versatile indoor and outdoor exhibition space, complimentary car parking for all attendees, a strategic location just off the A1 for easy road access, and convenient transport links – Newark Showground is a short five-minute taxi ride fromNewark Northgate station.
