Egburt Holmes Easter Egg Hunt!

Friday 18th, Saturday 19th, Sunday 20th and Monday 21st April 2025

Egburt Holmes Easter Egg Hunt!
Join us between the 18th and 21st of April to enjoy the sights and sounds of a steam locomotive hauling your train along the Spa Valley Railway and to laugh at Egbert Holmes, the great egg detective, as he tries to crack the case of the Easter Bunnies missing eggs!

The performance is presented by Radtastic Entertainment, which also produced Dr. Frankenslime’s Trick-or-Treat Express.

The fun begins at Tunbridge Wells West station, where you’ll be introduced to the great egg detective and his sidekick. We climb aboard the steam train to start our journey to Eridge station - with our heroes handing out activity packs along the way. Be sure to keep an eye out for the Easter eggs as you travel down the line!

Upon arrival at Eridge station, everybody will make their way onto the platform, where we will hopefully find the missing eggs! We will board the train once again to travel back to Tunbridge Wells West, where our heroes will hand out treats along the way.

Our show with Egburt Holmes starts and finishes at Tunbridge Wells West, which has three shows per day.

Show and train times:
The time shown on your eTicket is the show's start time. The train will depart 15 minutes later. We recommend allowing 1 hour and 30 minutes for this experience, but with your tickets, you are welcome to travel up and down all day on our other services.
