Discover The Big Egg Hunt Art Trail, Kingly Court

Join the family fun at Kingly Court this Easter weekend with The Big Egg Hunt – a London-wide free art trail that everyone can get involved in this spring, all in support of Asian Wildlife Charity, Elephant Family.

The Easter egg hunt kicks off with a live painting event on Carnaby Street on March 25th. Throughout the day, celebrated London street artists will line the street, painting six of the 100 two-foot tall giant eggs. Each sculpture will have its own unique design, created by the likes of Opake, Luke Smile and Mr Cenz – making it the perfect opportunity for families to stop by and watch the artworks come to life.
After the live painting, the six hand decorated eggs will then be placed on display in Kingly Court from March 26th – April 27th for visitors to discover and enjoy. After the exhibition, the sculptures will be auctioned to raise vital funds for the Elephant Family.
