This week marks the official start to preparations for attending the 2026 Henty Machinery Field Days (HMFD) with tickets going on sale on Wednesday 1 July. Visitors can start planning their trip with online ticket sales. Returning from September 22-24, the field days will once again showcase the latest in agricultural machinery, technology, agribusiness, outdoor living and country lifestyle, attracting around 50,000 visitors from across Australia. To make attending even easier, visitors are encouraged to purchase their tickets online ahead of the event. Not only does this provide a quicker and more convenient entry experience, but it also allows attendees to secure their tickets well before arriving at the gates. HMFD chief executive officer Belinda Anderson said the organisation was pleased to once again keep admission affordable for families and visitors. "We know many families and farming businesses are carefully managing their budgets, so we're pleased to keep our gate prices consistent for the third consecutive year," Ms Anderson said. "Our ticket prices have remained unchanged since 2024, ensuring the Henty Machinery Field Days continues to deliver outstanding value while providing access to one of Australia's largest and most comprehensive agribusiness events." The 2026 event will feature more than 800 exhibitors across the 105-hectare site, presenting the latest machinery, equipment, innovation and technology alongside livestock, agronomy, outdoor recreation, government services, food, entertainment and the ever-popular Country Lifestyle Pavilion. Purchasing tickets online before arriving is encouraged, with digital tickets able to be scanned directly from a mobile device or printed at home. Visitors are also encouraged to plan their visit early by exploring exhibitor listings, event schedules and accommodation options as they become available in the lead-up to September. Online tickets will be available from 1 July via www.hmfd.com.au.
