The Northampton and Lamport Railway (NLR) is inviting families to celebrate Easter in style with its popular Easter Egg Specials, running on Sunday, 5th and Monday, 6th April.

Visitors can enjoy scenic train rides through the Northamptonshire countryside, with departures every hour from 10 am to 3 pm on both days.

Every child travelling on the Easter Egg Specials will receive a free Creme Egg, adding a sweet treat to the experience.

Young visitors will also have the chance to meet the Easter Bunny in person and take part in a special Easter Bunny Hunt.

In addition to the train rides and Easter activities, the railway offers free on-site parking, a souvenir shop, and a buffet serving drinks, snacks, and freshly prepared food.

Families whose children do not eat chocolate are encouraged to inform the railway in advance, and a suitable substitute will be provided.

Tickets for the Easter Egg Specials can be booked online via the North Norfolk Railway’s website.

The railway notes that in the unlikely event the scheduled steam locomotive is unavailable, services will instead be hauled by one of its vintage diesel locomotives, ensuring the experience goes ahead as planned.
