Trunks across the Thames
Over the next nine weeks, these incredible larger-than-life artworks will transform the community into one giant outdoor gallery, inviting families, friends, neighbours and visitors to explore, discover and make memories together.
The trail is completely free, making it accessible for everyone to enjoy. Whether following the full route or discovering just a few elephants along the way, visitors can enjoy a unique summer experience across Windsor and Slough while learning more about the work of Thames Hospice.
Created by Thames Hospice in partnership with Wild in Art, Trunks across the Thames is much more than an art trail. It is one of the biggest community projects the Hospice has ever undertaken and a celebration of everything that makes our communities extraordinary.
Featuring 30 large elephant sculptures, each uniquely designed by talented artists, alongside 60 ‘Mini Herd’ elephants created by local schools and community groups, every elephant has its own story to tell. Together, they celebrate the places we love, the people who inspire us and the compassion that sits at the heart of Thames Hospice.
