Map & Nelly's Treasure Hunt
Have some fun with Nelly’s Treasure Hunt along The Strand!
Ephemera’s friendly jellyfish, Nelly has left behind a trail of clues at some of the artworks along The Strand. Answer each clue to discover the treasure! Ask for a map at the Ephemera information booth at Strand Park, or download a copy by clicking the image below. Then use the map to help guide the way! Don’t forget to write down your answers as you go. Once you’ve answered the mischievous jellyfish’s five clues, head to the Ephemera: Seaside Sculptures 2023 information booth at Strand Park and show the Ephemera team member your answers to unlock Nelly’s treasure chest and receive a reward!*
* Nelly’s Treasure Hunt reward is only available while stocks last, so get in quick!
Did you know!?
That our Ephemera mascot, Nelly, is inspired by a box jellyfish traveling through the ocean currents looking for food!
