About The Final Parade
Join us at Thames Hospice for a chance to see all our beautiful elephants in one place.
Our spectacular Final Parade will be a celebration as all of the elephant sculptures coming together for one final showcase. Whether you’ve collected every elephant on the trail, missed a few along the way, or haven’t had the chance to see them yet, this is the perfect opportunity to see them all in one place.
As well as seeing the sculptures, there will be food and drink available to purchase, along with a variety of stalls to browse, making it a fantastic day out for the whole family
Our trail and The Final Parade has really captured the hearts and minds of our community and the tickets for the 26th sold out very quickly.  We are sorry to those who weren’t able to get tickets. Unfortunately we cannot extend the Final Parade or offer any further tickets.Â
We are very pleased to say that Amara by Charlie Mackesy and Daisy our in-memory elephant will be returning to the Hospice as their forever home so you will be able to visit Café by the Lake to see these.
Thank you for supporting Thames Hospice and enjoying the art trail this summer.
