Swindon’s Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway will be turned into a lego paradise this weekend, October 7 to October 8.
Show partners, the Brickish Association, work tirelessly in their spare time throughout the year, to create unique large-scale models and massive themed landscapes using the well-known toy bricks.
Most of the newly created giant models and displays are being kept under wraps for the show, though the organisers are giving away a few hints about what’s in store.
Martin Long, President of the Brickish Association and co-organiser of the show said: “This event attracts visitors from all over the UK and our aim is always to inspire children and adult lego fans to get building themselves.
“With this in mind, the weekend is packed with amazing displays and special activities, to get everyone involved.
“As seen on their Facebook page, the Bricks to the Past history group are back with an epic new model of the Scottish Highlands, depicting a battle scene between the redcoats and Jacobites.
“We can’t wait to share the stunning creations that our designers have produced for this event – with many models on display for the very first time. As always, we can’t give away too much about this year’s models but the show will be full of surprises.”
The weekend will also include a giant lego mosaic that visitors can help build over the weekend, a lego shop and market place and dramatic lego robot wars tournaments.
Energy levels can be topped up at both the Brick Café and Steam's Platform One Café with freshly made hot and cold refreshments.
Doors open between 10.00am and 5.00pm on both days and tickets are available on the day.
Steam Season Ticket holders receive a 10% discount on tickets purchased directly from the Museum.
