YOUNG visitors to The Watercress Line will be able to meet the Easter Bunny and enjoy plenty of egg-citing activities this Easter

From April 17 to April 21, children can meet the Easter Bunny at Ropley Station, pose for a special photo, and receive a free chocolate egg.

The fun will continue onboard the heritage steam trains, where passengers can enjoy singalongs and jokes with the Easter Bunny’s helpers guaranteed to keep the whole family smiling.

Visitors can also hop on and off the magical train rides to explore The Watercress Line’s heritage stations, with some cracking Easter-themed activities running daily, from 10.30am to 4.30pm.
