A massive Easter egg hunt is coming to London – with over 100 giant decorated eggs

Spring is fast approaching, and that means that Easter, with all its chocolate eggs, roast lamb and bank holidays, is also right around the corner. And ahead of the holiday, there’s an enormous egg hunt happening that everyone in London can involved in.

In late March, over 100 decorated two-foot tall eggs will be scattered across the city for a month. The ovoid sculptures will each have their own unique design, created by the likes of Mr Doodle, Anya Hindmarch, the Royal Drawing School and Fortum & Mason. Sadly, no, they’re not edible.

The Big Egg Hunt 2025 has been masterminded by Asia wildlife charity, the Elephant Family and is sponsored by egg supplier, Clarence Court. Members of the public are invited to ‘collect’ the eggs by ticking them off on a free app, unlocking mystery prizes along the way. 

The eggs will be on display from March 24 to April 27. Keep an eye out for them popping up everywhere from the Barbican to Buckingham Palace and Marble Arch to Battersea Power Station. Other locations will include the British Museum, the Saatchi Gallery, Canary Wharf and Young V&A. 

It’s hoped that the trail will help raise awareness of urgent conservation issues in Asia and beyond. Once the exhibition is over, the eggs will go to auction to raise money for the Elephant Family. 

Richard Hawkes, CEO of the wildlife charity said: ‘The Big Egg Hunt is a vibrant celebration of art and conservation which can be enjoyed by everyone.  We’re delighted it’s coming back to London and hope the exhibition will spark bigger conversations about protecting wildlife as well as raising vital funds to support our conservation work.’ 

The designs of this year’s eggs are still to be revealed, but to give you an idea of what to egg-spect, here’s a look at the Elephant Family’s Little Egg Hunt that happened last year.
