Tickets are now on sale for Fieldays, the Southern Hemisphere’s largest agricultural event. This year, the event will be held in November due to COVID restrictions that prevented it from being held in June, its traditional month. 

With the building of Fieldays set to begin at Mystery Creek in two weeks, the over 1000 contractors that work from scratch to create the small city, are looking forward to building their sites in the sun instead of in near freezing temperatures.

Peter Nation, CEO of the National New Zealand Fieldays Society says that this year, Fieldays will be the same event, in the same location but just at a different time.

‘Obviously Fieldays is going to look a little bit different this year - instead of gumboots and beanies we’ll be seeing bucket hats and jandals. Of course, the atmosphere and opportunities will still be the same, it’s clear that won’t change in any way’.

‘For over 50 years, Fieldays has been the place to be for members of the agricultural community across the country. This year will be no exception. We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone to join in on one of our most iconic events but this time, we’ll be doing it all in the sunshine. Same same, but different’

Fieldays 2022 begins on 30 November and ends on 3 December. Tickets can be purchased via the Fieldays website at tickets.fieldays.co.nz/tickets/.
