Come for a steam train ride through the South Tyne Valley from Alston in Cumbria to Slaggyford in Northumberland. Meet the Easter Bunny who will have a chocolatey surprise for you. There's an Easter trail to follow and you can visit the viewing gallery above our workshop too. Accessible and dog friendly, it's a day out where no one gets left behind.
