Welcome to your weekly What's on in Kingston.

Trust

Thursday 10 April - Saturday 12 April, Stanley Picker Gallery.

The Stanley Picker Gallery is located on Grange Road, Kingston upon Thames, KT1 2QJ (Image supplied)

As an architectural intervention within the exhibition, Delmar has created a large gate with the workshops at Kingston School of Art, that is based on an original side-gate at the nearby Picker House, designed in the 1960s by architect Kenneth Wood. The piece will divide the exhibition space and create a conceptual gateway connecting the gallery and Stanley Picker's former home.

Those taking part in the hunt will be able to explore the palace's gardens in search of the Lindt GOLD BUNNY statues peeking out from the daffodils.

As families embark on this trail throughout the palace grounds, they will also discover the "remarkable" individuals who left their mark on Henry VIII's home.

Once they've found all the statues, visitors will be rewarded with a 10g Lindt GOLD BUNNY treat.
