How best to re-create a shrine that hasn’t existed for hundreds of years? Over Easter 2026, we worked with visitors to York Minster to use 100,000 LEGO bricks to create a copy!
By special request, we used yellow bricks for the tomb (at the bottom) and feretory (the container above for the relics). The columns are built from only white bricks - and the remaining arches are designed by all the visitors!
We all had so much fun at Stonehenge over the last couple of years, that it was great to be asked back again for 2026! What would we build though? We’d already built one trilothon so how could we top that?
Well, we decided to build the largest single part of Stonehenge that still stands…
Paxton House, in Berwickshire invited us to help celebrate Easter with a BIG Build of a suitably seasonally accessorised Easter Bunny!
Venues often commission us to build a model of local or topical importance to accompany their run of one of our touring exhibitions. The National Museum of Flight has an amazing collection of aircraft on display and they asked us if we could do a version of Concorde for them. Not one to shy away from a challenge we jumped at the chance to recreate the beautiful shape and lines!
We were back at the National Museum of Flight for Awesome Bricks, and it was awesome! It is always an incredible experience and it was wonderful to be back for our third year at the museum - making things even bigger and better! There was a wealth of attractions and activities for visitors of all ages!
Well, at least one of the droids! It was Edinburgh Comic Con this past weekend and, as it’s our local con, we thought it was time to do a BIG Build. Actor Jimmy Vee was one of the guest this years, best known for his roles in Harry Potter, Doctor Who and - of course - Star Wars! Jimmy played R2D2 in episodes VII and VIII, so it was great to get his seal of approval on the final model.
A few weeks ago, we were in Berlin for Fruit Logistica 2019 - more on that soon! Only a couple of weeks later and we are back again!
This weekend we were at the Carnegie Birthplace Museum in Dunfermline for another BIG Build - Dippy the Diplodocus.
To help make their stand out at the enormous Fruit Logistics Trade Show at the Messe Berlin, Chiquita hosted a live build of the star of The LEGO Movie 2, Bananar La Star!
We build a 3 meter tall Saturn V for the National Museum of Flight
