London’s Big Egg Hunt Returns with Art, Conservation, and a Prize-Filled Trail

Spring is on its way, bringing with it longer days, Easter celebrations, and one of London’s most unique public art events – The Big Egg Hunt 2025. Over 100 elaborately designed eggs, each standing two feet tall, will be hidden across the city from 24th March to 27th April, inviting Londoners to track them down in a month-long citywide search. This year’s event is backed by wildlife charity Elephant Family in partnership with egg supplier Clarence Court, aiming to raise awareness for global conservation efforts.

The eggs themselves are set to be miniature masterpieces, with designs created by artists and brands including Mr Doodle, Anya Hindmarch, the Royal Drawing School, and Fortnum & Mason. While they may look tempting, these eggs are strictly for display and won’t be making their way into anyone’s Easter basket. Those taking part can use a free mobile app to locate the eggs, unlocking mystery prizes along the way.

The trail spans some of London’s most iconic locations, from the Barbican and Buckingham Palace to Battersea Power Station and Marble Arch. Other notable spots include the British Museum, Canary Wharf, Saatchi Gallery, and Young V&A, with more sites expected to be revealed soon. Keep an eye on the official page here. The event is set to draw crowds from across the capital, providing a fun and interactive way to explore the city while engaging with an important cause.

Beyond the thrill of the hunt, the exhibition plays a key role in supporting conservation efforts. At the end of the display period, the eggs will be auctioned off to raise funds for Elephant Family, an organisation working to protect endangered species and habitats in Asia. Speaking about the event, Richard Hawkes, CEO of Elephant Family, shared his enthusiasm:

“The Big Egg Hunt is a vibrant celebration of art and conservation that everyone can enjoy. We’re delighted it’s returning to London and hope it sparks bigger conversations about protecting wildlife while raising vital funds for conservation work.”

While this year’s egg designs remain under wraps, past editions of the hunt have featured everything from intricate hand-painted patterns to contemporary sculpture. If you’re curious to see what’s in store, take a look at last year’s Little Egg Hunt, which also supported wildlife conservation.
