On behalf of the Eyre Peninsula Field Days Committee, it’s my privilege to invite all current and prospective exhibitors to join us for the Eyre Peninsula Field Days, held from the 11th to the 13th of August 2026.
This year is particularly significant as we celebrate our 50th year — a milestone built on community spirit, dedicated volunteers, and the continued support of our exhibitors. It’s also a time to acknowledge the many committee members who have come before us and helped build the strong foundations of the Field Days. We especially recognise Geoff Bammann, an inaugural committee member who continues to serve five decades later — an exceptional lifelong commitment. His contribution, along with that of many others over the years, has played a major role in shaping the Field Days into the respected and valued event it is today.
Stepping into this role is both an honour and a personal privilege. Continuing the work started by so many before me means a great deal, and I’m fortunate to be supported by a dedicated and generous committee — a strong mix of long-serving members with extensive knowledge and new faces bringing fresh energy. Together, we’re focused on delivering an event that supports our exhibitors and showcases the best of our region.
With more than 400 exhibitors and around 10,000 visitors expected across the three days, the Field Days continue to provide a fantastic opportunity to showcase products, services, and innovations that support farming and rural living.
Here on the Eyre Peninsula, we take real pride in the quality of what we grow and produce. Your expertise, technology, and services help local farmers — and those further afield — continue to build on that reputation.
We also extend a warm welcome to exhibitors in our Lifestyle section, which has been revamped this year to bring a fresh and vibrant change. Visitors will enjoy exploring a wide range of homewares, garden products, clothing, crafts, gourmet foods, fine wine, education providers, and more.
This year also marks the introduction of “Made on Eyre”, a celebration of the many high-quality products, businesses, and creators from across the Eyre Peninsula. At the same time, we offer a fond farewell and sincere thanks to “A Taste of EP”, which has proudly showcased our region for many years and helped lay the groundwork for this new initiative.
We understand that attending exhibitions is a significant investment of both time and resources. Our committee works hard to keep exhibitor costs reasonable, and we’re confident the Eyre Peninsula Field Days will be a rewarding experience for everyone involved.
I look forward to meeting you in August 2026 as we celebrate 50 years of the Eyre Peninsula Field Days and honour the people — past and present — who have shaped this event into what it is today.
