Activities & Entertainment
As always we have many special events and displays planned. Amongst the many activities we have Rob Bast Sculptor, an impressive local sculptor and of course we have a great range of tasty food and drink.
Yarra Valley Machinery Preservation Society display
A very 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 the restoration of 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 such demonstrations as 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.
As we look forward to our 2026 event we again thank everyone who contributed to 2025's successful Wandin Silvan Field Days event. We congratulate all those who took part and appreciate the time and effort that went into their displays. You can see the winners in the various display categories in the President's Award Winners.
The Field Days combine displays for the working people to see a wide range of equipment and services as well as surbuban families to experience informative and entertaining displays where the country meet the city.
