Get ready for an exciting showcase of agriculture and rural living as the Wandin Silvan Field Days return for another fantastic year on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 October. This popular event brings together exhibitors from across Australia, including Tasmania, Queensland, and Western Australia, offering a comprehensive look at the industry.
This also includes some well-known brands from across the local region, like Yarra Valley Toyota, Whitlands Engineering, Agpower and Transport, and BW Machinery. Read more about each of these businesses and what they have to offer in the pages to come.
Bringing together such a large number of exhibitors, the Wandin East Recreation Reserve acts as the perfect location, with the two ovals utilised for the two-day event.
On the front oval, find all the light machinery and general product displays, while the rear oval hosts all the heavy machinery. There is also the lifestyle and information pavilion located between the two ovals, and special areas dotted around the site providing food and attractions, like draught horses, historic machinery and chainsaw carving.
Gates are open from 8.30am to 5pm on Friday and 8.30am to 4pm on Saturday. Visitors will find a massive array of exhibitors featuring farm machinery, light industrial equipment, motor vehicles, irrigation gear, and the latest in pest and weed control. Don’t miss the live demonstrations of new equipment like chain saws, ride-on mowers, and innovative pruning techniques. You can also find vital information on the packaging, transporting, and labelling of fruit.
Beyond the machinery, the event offers plenty for everyone, including arts and crafts, patchwork, gardening products, and clothing. Demonstrations like weaving and leatherworking will also be featured. For the kids, it’s a great chance to see a glimpse of rural life and get close to a variety of animals in an informative setting.
Entry is a flat fee of $17 per person, with all proceeds benefiting local CFA brigades. Children under 15 are admitted free of charge. Ample free on-site parking is available—just follow the signs! Come along and enjoy a great day out while supporting your local community.
