Watch a video from Rural TV Australia highlighting the overall importance of Fields Days - Supporting our Field Days
The next Wandin Silvan Field Days is scheduled to be held on Friday 14th & Saturday 15th October 2022. The Field Days continue to be the principal focus for the Horticultural and Agricultural producers of this particular region, and beyond. In 2019 we celebrated our 50th Anniversary year and after having to cancel the 2020 and 2021 events we are looking forward to bigger and better events in the years ahead when things return to more normal conditions.
Plans are taking place for some extra features and our Committee welcomes your ideas or suggestions to help highlight this special occasion. Watch the video from a previous event to get a feel for our Field Days: The 2022 Exhibitor Prospectus is available to view here or download the pdf here.
The General Interest Exhibitor Application will be available closer to the event. The list of Exhibitors who attended in 2019 can viewed as an indication of the extensive displays on show at the Field Days: here.

pest & weed control, fertilisers and chemicals.
Demonstrations and displays of a wide variety of new equipment, such
as chain saws, ride-on mowers, retractable water sprayers and pruning
techniques will be available. Information on the packaging, transporting
and labeling of fruit will also be available. Motor vehicles & 4WDs

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.
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 2022 event we thank everyone who contributed to 2019'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.
