00:00London is set to be taken over by over 100 giant decorated eggs for the big egg hunt in 2025 in the capital.
00:11The trail will span iconic locations such as Battersea Power Station,
00:16Covent Garden, Chelsea, Marylebone, Marble Arch, Canary Wharf, Buckingham Palace,
00:22the Barbican and the Saatchi Gallery as well.
00:27These two-foot tall sculptures will be scattered across the city and the public can collect the eggs they find
00:33taking them off on a free app that also reveals prizes along the way.
00:39The exhibition has been organised by wildlife charity Elephant Family and egg producer Clarence Court
00:46brings together art, fashion and food in a unique celebration of creativity and conservation.
00:54Elephant Family has called it a vibrant experience for everyone to enjoy.
01:00So would Londoners go on this Easter egg hunt and where in London would they hide the egg in the city?
01:08I think anything that brings community together is good.
01:10I think if they're hiding them in places that are across different types of areas,
01:13so suburban areas as well as the city, then yes.
01:15I think if it's going to be stuck in sort of one area, so central London,
01:18where people maybe don't travel up into there, especially with children, perhaps not so much.
01:22So I think if we're really thinking heavy about, you know, what kind of community building are we trying to do here?
01:26How much of London is being included? Greater London as well as central London?
01:29Yeah, I think it's a good thing.
01:30I mean, I'd like to see more community driven things. I'm not sure if that's a great example.
01:34Easter is a time particularly important to Christians, but not everyone in London is a Christian.
01:40So I'm not sure if that's appropriate, really.
01:43If you could hide the egg anywhere in London, where do you think would be quite a cool, fun hiding place?
01:48Where would you do it and why?
01:49There's an area in Chancery Lane where it's like near where some of the inns are.
01:53There's like little alcove cubbies that people don't really know that much about.
01:56So I think if we hid them somewhere there, it'd be quite nice, not just for people to find it,
02:00but also for people to realise actually there's little hidden gems in London they may not know about already.
02:03So I think that's quite cool.
02:04It would probably be on that little beach that appears on the South Bank, just in front of that pizza place.
02:09And why there? Because it's like, it will be a time specific quest, because it only appears at like half.
02:15You can like make a quest around, you can only appear at a certain time on the banks of the Thames
02:19and you can put a little Shakespearean twist to it as well.
02:22So the parks really, because I love the parks and they've got great parks in London.
02:26I think Greenwich again is a lovely area for that.
02:31There are so many places, probably somewhere near the canals.
02:37I don't know where exactly, somewhere maybe near the Regent's Canal, just because it's a nice area.
02:44When the exhibition ends, the sculptures will be auctioned to raise funds for Asian Wildlife for Conservation
02:51through Elephant Family, the charity founded originally by the Queen's late brother, Mark Shand.
