Wensleydale Railway offers family deal for Easter holidays

Wensleydale Railway is running a ‘kids for a quid’ scheme for children aged three to 15, who can travel for just £1 with a paying adult.

Nick Keegan, marketing and fundraising manager at Wensleydale Railway, said: “With free activities to entertain the children, and our ‘kids for a quid’ travel offer, a visit to our volunteer-led heritage railway is a fun and great value family day out this Easter.”

The Easter Bunny Rail Trail will run from April 1 to 8, encouraging children to find hidden bunnies around the railway.

Trail sheets can be collected from Leeming Bar or Leyburn stations, and completed sheets earn a chocolate reward.

Free Easter-themed craft activities will also take place at Scruton Station on April 1 and 8.

Children can take part in egg painting, making bunny faces, and crafting chicks on sticks.

Visitors are encouraged to start their day at Leeming Bar, take the train to Scruton for the craft activities, then jump back on the train to Leeming Bar, and then Leyburn, to find the hidden bunnies on the Bunny Rail Trail.

The crafts will run from 11am to 2pm at the restored 1910 station.
