Hop aboard for Easter fun

Peter Rabbit™ is back at Swanage Railway for a joyful Easter celebration the whole family will love. Join us for a charming springtime journey through the Isle of Purbeck, filled with storytelling, adventure, and a very special Easter egg hunt.

A Mischievous Adventure Awaits

Step aboard one of our heritage steam trains and settle in as the countryside comes to life with spring colour. Along the way, children can take part in a delightful Easter egg hunt inspired by Beatrix Potter’s timeless tales — keep your eyes peeled, as Peter Rabbit™ has been up to his usual tricks.

At the end of your journey, you’ll have the chance to meet the mischievous rabbit himself. It’s the perfect moment for photos, smiles, and memories you’ll treasure.

Treats Along the Line

Make the most of the food and drink available at our stations along the railway. Whether it’s something sweet for little ones or a warm drink to enjoy while you wait for the train, there’s plenty to keep everyone happily topped up.

A Day Out to Remember

This experience blends family fun with the nostalgic charm of steam travel — a relaxed, friendly way to enjoy Easter together.

More details, including the full timetable and ticket release date, will be available soon.

Hop aboard with Peter Rabbit™ this Easter and enjoy a day that’s full of charm, adventure, and springtime cheer.
