Everyone In Your Family Will Love Essex Steam Train’s Delightful Tea Party Excursions

What could be better than a tea party with your little ones? A family tea party on a train, of course!

Essex Steam Train is rolling out yet another lovable family-friendly adventure that involves dress-up, finger sandwiches, and memories that will last a lifetime. The two themes of this year’s tea party excursions are superheroes and fairies. For those that wish to don a cape and wear a mask, Superhero Day takes place on May 16th and 17th. For those who prefer storybooks, fairytales, and facepaint, Fairy Tea will be offered on May 23rd and 24th. You can find out more about both of these magical events by clicking here.
