The Tocal Field Days are held every year in the first weekend in May. The many visitors include people on the land who are looking for the latest innovations, hobby farmers and enthusiasts and people just looking for a great day out. Whether you enjoy piglet races, great food and wine, fencing demonstrations or the Grand Parade you can be sure the event will not disappoint. The Exhibitors bring to you all the latest in farming techniques and technologies from solar energy to fencing construction.
Hunter's premium agricultural event attracts around 30,000 visitors and 400 exhibits. Highly regarded for its educational aspect, Tocal combines a genuine rural experience with commerce, entertainment, fashion, regional food and wine, and craft. Served with the renowned Tocal country hospitality.
Pick up show specials with eight tractor companies for comparison, solar gates, log splitters, cattle yards, solar-operated gates, tools galore, big sheds and small quad bikes. Learn how to prepare livestock for sale and how to sell them through a "fair dinkum" auction and be informed on safe livestock handling techniques on foot with a dog, on horseback and on a quad.
Watch a celebrity chef prepare a signature dish while he shares some secrets, sip an organic wine, sample seafood, enjoy the funky fashion show and learn about permaculture, chainsaws, quad bikes and cattle breeds.
Go back in time at Tocal's heritage homestead showcasing vintage machinery, and blacksmithing.
