April 24th, 2025Trentham digs into potato pride at Spudfest

Jenna Bruton carries her family’s farming heritage with pride. As part of a four-generation Trentham spud farm family and an AFLW premiership player for North Melbourne, she understands the power of hard work, resilience and community.

Jenna’s family will be selling their spuds at The Great Trentham Spudfest Railway Precinct on Saturday and at the Spud Hub on Sunday.

Trentham’s beloved annual festival is back on May 3 and 4, serving up a weekend packed with spud-filled fun. 

The Great Trentham Spudfest isn’t just about potatoes (okay, maybe it mostly is) – it’s also a celebration of the vibrant Trentham community spirit and proud potato- growing heritage. 

Once a shy, humble tuber hiding underground, the potato finally gets its moment in the sun, basking in the spotlight with festivities dedicated to its starchy greatness and showcasing the very best this spudtacular region has to offer. 

This year, there are two days of fun-filled events, with activities for all ages, held against the backdrop of spectacular autumn colour.
