Our community

The Murrumbateman Field Days prides itself on being a true community event – run by the community, for the community.

Planning and management of the field days is undertaken by a small management team and an army of volunteers who devote their own time and resources to delivering a professional, informative and fun day out for farmers, their families and the wider community.

The Murrumbateman Field Days receives generous support from a range of corporate sponsors and is a major source of revenue for many local schools, community groups and sporting associations.

Much of the food available at the field days is cooked in local kitchens to support Murrumbateman community groups. A group of local rural fire brigades direct parking and each year a large proportion of gate takings are donated to selected local charities and organisations.

Since its inception in 1979 the Murrumbateman Field Days has directly contributed many hundreds of thousands of dollars to local organisations and projects. For some, the event is their only source of income.

If you would like to support this valuable event by becoming a volunteer, you can contact us for further information. The time you put in is entirely up to you – we appreciate any and all assistance.
