Marylebone will host 9 of the 100 eggs between neighbouring areas, Marylebone Village and Portman Marylebone. The Eggs have been decorated by renowned creatives, designers and artists for the free-to-view eggcellent trail located across iconic Marylebone stores, landmark hotels and gardens in the historic destination for the whole capital to enjoy. The trail is also supported by Harley Street BID, Baker Street Quarter Partnership and Marble Arch London, with Easter activities being organised for local professionals and families to experience. This marks the first time all Marylebone partners have united on a destination event, reflecting the true spirit of the area celebrating as a community.
Marylebone locations are; Nobu Hotel London Portman Square, The Marylebone hotel, Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill, Daunt Books, John Bell & Croyden, Durrant's Hotel, The Cumberland Hotel, Paddington Street Gardens and St Marylebone Parish Church Gardens.
Artists to be discovered across Marylebone include; Jag Sihra, Annya Sand, Sally Adams (behind Elmer the Elephant trail), Rebecca Campbell, Ruth Davis, Caio Locke, Bellerby & Co Globemakers, Louise Dear and Beth Katleman. When The Big Egg Hunt public exhibition ends, these incredible sculptures will be auctioned to raise vital funds for Elephant Family.
Members of the public will be able to “collect the eggs” they find, scanning them to be ticked off on a free app which is set to reveal prizes and offers along the way. These include 15% off the bill at 108 Brasserie, 15% off food and drink at Durrant’s Hotel and 10% off at the Nobu Bar at the Nobu Hotel, with more to be announced soon.
Visitors can also be in with the chance to win an exclusive Spring Beauty Box at John Bell & Croyden, a Spring Cheese & Wine Box at La Fromagerie, a Rococo Chocolates’ family Easter hamper and overnight stays at Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill, Durrant’s Hotel and The Prince Akatoki London.
Once visitors have scanned all the eggs in Marylebone, they will have the chance to enter a draw to win one of many prizes from the businesses and brands in Marylebone including: a night stay in Marylebone hotel, a one night stay at The Prince Akatoki London, and tickets to the area’s eggceptional galleries and museums including Frameless.
