However, there is also much more to see and enjoy (surprising we know) at Vertikal Days, and this is our guide to why it’s worth coming along, how to get there, and what you can expect to see.

Vertikal Days is an excellent opportunity to get up close and personal with the most popular and newest platforms, cranes and lifting equipment on the market. Exhibitors have their top experts and business leaders there too (including APS) so it’s a good opportunity to meet senior people, share knowledge and finalise machine buying choices. Vertikal Day organisers say the show is attended by buyers and company owners from 90% of leading UK and Irish rental companies that buy more than 80% of all cranes and aerial lifts in the two countries.

Travelling to Vertikal Days
By Car
As already mentioned above, the best postcode to use in sat navs to get to Vertikal Days is PE2 6HE.
Travelling from the A1(M) South – continue along the A1(M), passing the Peterborough Services (Extra MSA); continue forward onto the A1 and then take the next turn left, signposted East of England Arena/Showground. At the junction with the A605, turn left and travel half a mile. At the roundabout, turn right, and you have arrived.
Travelling from the A1(M) North – ignore the very first signpost for Peterborough and continue travelling along the A1 picking up the brown highways’ signposts indicating East of England Arena/Showground. Follow these signs and leave the A1 at Alwalton, taking you through the village and onto the A605 Oundle Road junction. Turn left at this junction and at the very next roundabout, turn right and you’ve arrived at Peterborough Arena.
Parking at Vertikal Days is free

East of England Arena’s location makes it central for London Stansted, London Luton, East Midlands, and Birmingham airports – 60-90 minutes away by car approximately.
By Bus or Taxi
Peterborough city centre has a number of taxi ranks, as well as a coach park and bus station located within the Queensgate Centre. The Stagecoach bus service runs a half-hourly service during the week and a two-hourly Sunday service, stopping just outside the East of England Arena. There are a number of taxis operating in the area, we recommend you order with your hotel or contact directly in advance to ensure your journey runs smoothly.
