Easter Steam Trains at Rocks By Rail - FREE Easter Egg Hunt Rocks By Rail Ashwell Road Cottesmore Rutland

Easter Steam Trains at Rocks By Rail - FREE Easter Egg Hunt

from Sunday April 5th to Monday April 6th


The Easter Bank holiday weekend will see steam trains in operation at Rocks By Rail, along with our ever popular Easter Egg Hunt for the young ones - and the big Kid in you.

We will be offering steam hauled brakevan rides with one of our historic steam locomotives - Pay once, and ride all day if you wish! Or take to foot, and scour the museum site on our Easter Egg hunt.

Easter Eggs will be hidden all around our quarry area, our locomotive workshop, and along the nature trail - each egg has a funny egg related name - just write down the names as you spot them, and return to The Sundew Cafe for a free Creme Egg for your efforts.

We will also be running our Quarry Demonstration train, and visitors can see how precious iron ore was dug from the ground, loaded into the train, and taken away by rail. All the sights and sounds of an authentic iron stone quarry railway system which were once dotted all around this region.

Come and join us for fun this Easter Sunday and Easter Bank Holiday Monday. All this fun, and we didn't have to use any egg related jokes! Eggcellent!

Trains run 5th and 6th April, Adults £6, OAP £5, Children (aged 5-15) £3, Children under 5years go FREE!

Price: Adults £6, OAP £5, Children (aged 5-15) £3, Children
