The Lovelock Hostage Bridge ■

Show your love for the hostages at the Lovelock Hostage Bridge.

Lovelock Art: 6–20 June, Sunday–Thursday, 10am–10pm

Over 50 talented international artists have generously decorated padlocks in solidarity with the hostages cruelly held captive in Gaza. These inventively customised creations collectively express support and yearning for the release of those incarcerated.

If you would like to own one of these padlocks, the first people to make a minimum donation of £150 to the Hostages and Missing Families Forum charity will each receive one of the padlocks (randomly allocated through a draw). Please visit LovelockArt.org for donation details and whether there are still padlocks available.

Over 240 excruciating days have passed since the October 7th massacre. There are still more than 100 hostages in Gaza; elderly men and women, parents, children, disabled and chronically ill. Every second that passes could be their last. They must be released immediately.

Lovelock Hostage Bridge is fitted with padlocks displaying hostages’ names, as well as various signed by hostage family members. If you have yet to do so, please show your love for and solidarity with the hostages by adding your own signed padlock (they are freely available at JW3 reception).

Your padlock will sit alongside a bent padlock signed by Uri Geller as well as padlocks signed by: Alan Yentob; Alastair Campbell; Dame Maureen Lipman; Howard Jacobson; Lily Ebert MBE BEM; Manor Solomon; Rachel Riley MBE; Sir Simon Schama; Simon Sebag Montefiore; Tracy-Ann Oberman; Vanessa Feltz; David Walliams and many other high profile figures and members of the public. 

Please consider making a donation to the Hostages and Missing Families Forum which offers families holistic medical and emotional support as well as professional assistance, and advances the ongoing efforts locally, regionally and globally, to bring the hostages and the missing back home.
