April 24th, 2025Street fair serves up plenty for the famished this Spudfest

Trentham comes alive with the legendary Street Fair held in the heart of town on Saturday, May 3, 10am to 4pm during the town’s annual Spudfest.

It’s a great time to explore four main precincts, packed full of spud food, fresh regional produce, a local
makers market, live music, and the Spud Olympics.

Grab a bag of famous Trentham potatoes, direct from local growers. Bus tours of the district’s heritage-protected Spud Huts also run throughout the day.

Saturday evening brings the Spudfest Cèilidh, a family-friendly celebration of Celtic music, food, and dancing.

Or famished festival-goers can join local chef Annie Smithers for an exclusive four-course potato feast at her famous Trentham restaurant Du Fermier. Tickets tend to get snapped up fast.
