Big Egg Hunt 2025
London is set to be transformed into an open-air art gallery as over 100 large-scale egg sculptures take over the city for The Big Egg Hunt 2025. Organised by wildlife charity Elephant Family in partnership with Clarence Court, this spectacular event will bring together leading artists and designers to create unique works of art while raising vital funds for Asian wildlife conservation.
Among the various trail locations, five eggs will be placed in the Fleet Street Quarter area, while 13 will be showcased across the City of London. Join the Egg Hunt and visit Dr Johnson's House.
