Dame Joanna Lumley, Elephant Family Patron, describes the event as "the Egg Hunt to join," emphasising the symbolic significance of eggs as symbols of hope, echoing the sentiments of the charity's late Founder, Mark Shand. Elephant Family, founded by HRH The Queen's late brother, is dedicated to Asian wildlife conservation.
The Little Egg Hunt features creations from leading figures in art, design, and architecture, including Anya Hindmarch, Philip Colbert, Charlotte Colbert, Dan Baldwin, James McQueen, Bellerby Globe, Natasha Kumar, Lily Lewis, Allegra Hicks, Rebecca Campbell, Rob Ryan and the dynamic duo Rob and Nick Carter. Their imaginative and meticulously crafted eggs serve a noble purpose beyond aesthetic: to generate vital funds for on-the-ground conservation projects championed by Elephant Family. With each egg hunted, the charity aims not only to raise awareness of critical conservation issues but also to spark meaningful conversations about wildlife conservation and our collective future.
The Big Egg Hunt will return in 2025, with 200 artistically decorated egg.
The Little Egg Hunt is an introductory event leading up to the Big Egg Hunt 2025, set to take place over Easter in London. During the main event, 200 artistically decorated eggs will be displayed across the city's landmarks. The initiative aims to support Elephant Family's conservation efforts through an egg auction, raising crucial funds for their cause.
