2025 will mark the 56th year we have hosted the Wandin Silvan Farm Field Days, marking a significant milestone achievement and a tribute to all of those involved over the course of so many years.
We continue this popular and important local community event as a not-for-profit organisation, operated by a Committee of local volunteers.
Favourably located in the heart of the renowned and beautiful Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges region of Victoria, the Wandin-Silvan Field Days are held at the picturesque Wandin East Recreation Reserve, with participants and exhibitors from several areas of Australia, both regional and interstate.
We endeavour to maintain our very niche ‘Horticultural and Farm Machinery’ theme, actively encouraging the involvement of all exhibitors, and particularly those who can endorse our theme.
Our popular Field Days provide the opportunity for visitors to see the latest in farm machinery, technology and related services, along with the chance to catch up and network with others in the industry and local area. The price and quality of machinery and equipment can be compared at the one location, with patrons able to have face to face contact with dealers and suppliers.
Special attractions this year include Beloka Kelpie Working Dogs display, Chainsaw Sculptor, Paul Stafford, Heritage Draught Horse demonstration, “On the Move’ Mobile Animal Farm, a working Blacksmith demo and display of machinery from yesteryear by the Yarra Valley Machinery Preservation society. Victoria Police Farm Crime Division will be present, along with representatives from several of our local CFA groups.
The ‘Information & Lifestyle’ Pavilion, complimented by the General Interest Alley, enables us to host a wide number of special interest exhibitors selling such as regional food & wine, beer, Gin distillery, Safety Wear, homecrafts, nursery produce, clothing and jewellery just to name a few.
With such a large variety of exhibitors, something for everyone.
I look forward to welcoming you all to Wandin and hope that you will enjoy your time at the 56th Annual 2025 Wandin Silvan Field Days.
