Watercress Line's Easter Bunny Train returns this weekend

Taking place from Thursday, April 2 to Monday, April 6 at The Watercress Line, the seasonal event combines a heritage train journey with activities for families and children.

Rebecca Dalley, CEO of The Watercress Line, said: "The Easter Bunny Train is one of our most joyful events of the season, combining classic steam train travel with springtime activities.

Guests will enjoy unlimited travel along the 10-mile heritage railway, stretching between Alresford and Alton.

The Easter Bunny will greet visitors at Ropley Station, pose for photographs, and every child will receive a chocolate egg.

On board, the fun continues with a singalong featuring Easter-themed songs and jokes led by the bunny’s helpers.

Children can take part in an Easter Spotter Trail, craft activities, selfie spots, and time to play at the locomotive playground, where they can also see the engines up close.

Tasty treats and Easter gifts will be available for purchase at Alresford and Ropley stations.

Families are encouraged to bring along their favourite soft toy friends for the day to take photos with the Easter Bunny.

Tickets are available now through The Watercress Line website at watercressline.co.uk.
