September 28th, 2024TRATA invites stallholders for fundraiser market series

The Trentham Railway precinct has undergone huge changes in the last 18 months.   

Trentham Rail and Tramway Association secretary Phil Davis says with a new committee and volunteers, the gardens and amenities have been revitalised along with some restoration work to make the precinct “a very popular place for the community and visitors who come to Trentham”.   

“New wheelchair-friendly picnic tables have been installed around the gardens, a mobility pathway from the platform to the rail line has made it easier for people to start the Domino Trail walk from Trentham to Lyonville, and stairs onto the rail line allow everyone to explore some of the oldest rolling stock in Victoria.   

“The railway precinct is now the hub for our annual Tractor Pull, Spudfest and many classic car events. We have an amazing facility that the town is very proud of.”   

Mr Davis said to continue the rejuvenation of the railway precinct, and to raise much needed funds, TRATA will be running a seasonal market over the next seven months.   

The dates for the market are October 27, November 24, December 15, January 19, February 23, March 30 and April 27.   

The markets will be open from 9am to 1pm with the first market free to stallholders and not-for-profit organisations.  

Subsequent markets will be $10 for a stallholder not requiring power. Mr Davis said stallholders were needed to make the market, and fundraising, a success for the town.
