Wandin Silvan Field Days

Yarra Valley is Victoria’s premier tourist destination. It is known for its fresh produce, delicious wine, and breathtaking natural attractions. In addition, the town’s year-round events draw hundreds of visitors each year.

Wandin Silvan Field Days is a two-day event with over 200 presenters. Exhibitors can showcase the latest horticultural, agricultural, and farming equipment and industry practices.

Once again, it was fantastic to hold the 2024 Field Days, and we thank everyone who participated as an exhibitor or visitor and worked behind the scenes to make the Field Days happen. We are looking forward to bigger and better events in the years ahead. Plans are being made for extra features, and our Committee welcomes your ideas or suggestions to help highlight this special occasion.

Wide range of exhibitions

This year, we will feature exhibitors specialising in farm machinery, light industrial equipment, motor vehicles and motorbikes, irrigation equipment, and water tanks, as well as information on the latest pest and weed control, fertilisers, and chemicals.

Demonstrations and displays of various new equipment, such as chainsaws, ride-on mowers, retractable water sprayers, and pruning techniques, will be available. Information on fruit packaging, transporting, and labelling will also be available. Motor vehicles and 4WDs will be well represented, with many exhibitors featuring relevant products.

Finance, real estate, insurance, local employment agencies, mobile telephone companies, and various grower organisations will be present.

The Field Days are a great opportunity for children to glimpse rural life and interact closely with various animals in an informative environment.

Yarra Valley Machinery Preservation Society display

A popular attraction at the Field Days is the display of machinery of yesteryear, and the Yarra Valley Machinery Preservation Society will once again feature a working display of their restored machinery for visitors to the venue.

Many hours and much care are devoted to restoring the machinery, and the members are very happy to share their stories and discuss the features of their displays.

General Interest Exhibits

The popular “General Interest Exhibits” will once again provide a forum for a diverse range of local crafts and produce, with many exhibitors showcasing actual demonstrations of their products.

Arts and crafts, patchwork, lavender products, community organisations, gardening products, ladies’ and children’s clothing, and confectionery will feature, along with demonstrations of weaving and leatherworking.

We look forward to the continued support of our many Exhibitors who have attended in the past, as well as welcoming and encouraging new businesses to participate, as we work together to ensure the continued success of the Wandin Silvan Field Days.
