The Trentham Easter Art and Craft Show was first held in 2007, and has been an artistic and social highlight for the community and visitors almost every year since. It was last held in 2019 when 355 artworks were celebrated.
Prizes are donated by our very generous benefactors, community groups and local businesses who help support our artisans, encourage young people in the arts and bring joy to the community.
Its a great way to discover local and other artists and treasure one of their creations
