Tickets are now on sale for one of the Goulburn Valley’s biggest regional events: the Seymour Alternative Farming Expo.

Several fan favourites are returning for this year’s event, which includes country cooking and butcher shop demonstrations, the Australian Whipcracking Championships and a show from Beloka Kelpies.

The three-day expo will include more than 400 exhibitors, farm lectures and learning hub talks, an arts and crafts pavilion and plenty of livestock on show.

The event has also proved to be a popular social day out for couples and families and provides a welcome $6 million injection into the local economy annually.

This year is especially exciting as the expo welcomes a new event manager, Jo Smiles.

“We are so thrilled to be back for 2024, with many familiar faces returning as well as some exciting new additions to our line-up,” Ms Smiles said.

“The team from All4FMX are joining us on Saturday and Sunday with their motocross show, and OzSort Team Sorting are returning with their equine demonstrations.

“The event will be a great way for families to finish out the school holidays.”

There will be educational talks on sustainable farm practices and more happening in the learning hub marquee.

A menu has been planned in the country kitchen and butcher shop by Seymour expo chef and butcher team Adrian Hesley and Vic Bonacci.

Ms Smiles extended her thanks to the Mitchell Shire Council, Seymour Football Netball Club and Kings Park committee of management for their ongoing support and co-operation in the preparation and execution of the expo.

Tickets are on sale now, so don’t miss your chance to enjoy the biggest farming event of the year.
