"We've got a new train, The James Cook, for the 2024 season, so fingers crossed the weather will be kind and we'll have a good, family-friendly day and a great Easter egg hunt that is kindly being sponsored by neighbouring business, High Oaks Grange," said Mr Avison.
The Easter egg hunt is suitable for children under seven and costs £3 per child and the train ride costs £2.50 and is suitable for both adults and children.
