Easter Holiday Steam Train Event

Family Fun in North Norfolk

Climb aboard the Easter Eggspress this Easter school holidays for an eggciting family adventure on our Norfolk steam railway. Every child will receive a FREE Easter Egg when they complete our fun Easter Stamp Trail, available at both Aylsham and Wroxham stations. The Easter Eggspress is always popular, so we recommend booking early to secure your family’s preferred date and time.

To make the experience even more fun, the Whistlestop Café will be decorated with an Easter theme, and Easter Lunch Boxes will be available to purchase (not included in ticket price). A perfect way to celebrate Easter with a steam train journey, family fun, and a chocolatey reward at the end!

Afternoon tea selection, scones, cakes, sandwiches at the Whistlestop Cafe

Easter Afternoon Tea

Make the day extra special either before or after you travel the Easter Eggpress by treating yourselves to one of our traditional Afternoon Teas in the Whistlestop Café at Aylsham. Afternoon Teas must be pre-booked and are the perfect way to round off a scenic steam train journey through the Norfolk countryside. Simply add to cart when booking or complete our form to pre-order online. Pre-order is essential.
