Trunks across the Thames
Something elephant-astic is stomping its way to Slough and Windsor
Trunks across the Thames is Thames Hospice’s very first art trail which will see businesses, schools, community groups and artists unite to create a free, fun, family-friendly trail of discovery for the local community to explore and enjoy.
Our majestic herd will be marching during the summer of 2026 for nine weeks! Our herd of individually designed magnificent elephant sculptures will bring vibrancy, colour and creative artistry, transforming the streets, parks and open spaces of Slough and Windsor into a glorious open-air gallery.
Trunks across the Thames will will ignite a wave of positive change, delivering significant economic, social, and cultural benefits throughout Slough and Windsor!

Your donations make a BIG difference
More and more people are living with life-limiting conditions and need specialist care like ours to help them have the best quality of life, to the end of life. Our care, delivered at the Hospice and in people’s homes, supports the physical, emotional and social needs of every patient and their loved ones.
Our care is free at the point of use, but unlike the NHS, we are not fully government funded. We need £39,000 each day to care for local families who need our vital support. Our care is only made possible thanks to the generosity of our local community – every donation, gift in Will, charity shop purchase and events like Trunks across the Thames makes a difference.
We are committed to ensuring we are always a place of hope and dedicated to providing care and support to all those who need us, when and where they need it, today and for generations to come.
