Haft-sin Trail

Activity Description

Head into Waterlow Park and help us search for the Haft-sin eggs!
During Nowruz, families celebrate the start of spring by setting up a special table called the Haft-sin. It is decorated with seven foods and spices that all begin with the letter “S”. Each one stands for something important, like happiness, health, love and new beginnings. People often add other special items too, such as a mirror, goldfish, painted eggs and candles, to celebrate life, renewal and light.

Join us in the park and follow the trail to find our hidden eggs, whilst learning about the ingredients for the Haft-sin! Each egg represents an item, and can be discovered by following the clues on the trail map, which will be available online at the beginning of March. We have seven new eggs created by seven different artists – learn more about them below and good luck hunting!
