Next up in our Experience This series of new adventures and upcoming happenings is something we’re rather excited about – the world record-breaking Fabergé Easter Egg Hunt across London – otherwise known as The Big Egg Hunt – which kicks off on Tuesday 21 February and lasts for 40 days and 40 nights.
Throughout central London, more than 200 30-inch tall individually-crafted fibreglass eggs will be on display, created by leading luminaries in the worlds of fashion, art, product design, architecture and jewellry, and it’s up to you to find them.
