The Big Egg Hunt

The world's largest egg hunt - a dazzling public art trail across the city of London, presented by Elephant Family in partnership with Clarence Court. Over 40,000 people took part in the egg hunt, and the eggs were later sold to raise vital funds for Elephant Family's conservation work.

About the event

123 egg sculptures raising awareness and funds for wildlife conservation

In March 2025, Elephant Family brought together world renowned creatives to bring a spectacle of egg-cellent art to London. 

The public were invited to find the 2ft egg sculptures scattered across iconic locations like Buckingham Palace, Battersea Power Station, The Barbican, The British Museum. The Royal Albert Hall, Covent Garden, Canary Wharf, Sloane Street, and Marble Arch. They were able to “collect the eggs” by ticking them off on a free app.

These incredible egg sculptures became available to buy though auction, helping to raise money for important conservation work, protecting wildlife and their habitats across Asia.

The artists

Uniting leading artists, creative and designers for one eggs-citing  trail

For the Big Egg Hunt 2025, over 100 decorated egg sculptures were brought to life by leading artists and designers like Mr Doodle, Anya Hindmarch, Beth Katleman, Sophie Tea, LUAP, Remi Rough, Duncan Campbell & Charlotte Rey, renowned jewellery designers Chopard, artisan Globemakers Bellerby & Co and many many more.

One of the most popular eggs on the trail was Pangolin by Josh Gluckstein, a London-based wildlife artist who used recycled cardboard to sculpt the rolled form of a pangolin. Elephant Family's Joint Presidents, Their Majesties The King and Queen, also showed their support by commissioning Royal Drawing School Alumna, Alice Shirley, to create an egg for Buckingham Palace.

Most of these egg sculptures were available for purchase during the trail, and afterwards at the dazzling finale event - Wonders of the Wild
