Quieter days & Quieter areas

The busier days of the event are generally Saturday and Sunday. And with the high volume of people, the noise and activity on site will increase. We understand that some people with physical disabilities requiring wheel chairs or mobility aids, or people who have an invisible disability such as autism may find the environment more challenging.

We encourage Carers to bring their own noise cancellation headphones, ear plugs or devices to help people who are unable to cope with the noise generated at busy places, machinery exhibits or demonstrations.

Whilst everyone is welcome every day of the event, if you prefer less crowds we recommend coming on Friday.

So what are you waiting for!

Join us at Tocal Field Days for a weekend packed with agricultural innovation, demonstrations, and family fun. Whether you’re a farmer, hobbyist, or just curious, there’s something for everyone!
