Maidstone Brick Festival with Lego sets and building competitions returns to the Maidstone Leisure Centre

A brick-building event that celebrates all things Lego is returning to Kent.

The Maidstone Brick Festival, which started in 2018, is a day for families, collectors and adult builders to take part in competitions, see large-scale displays and pick up new and retro Lego sets.

The one-day event is set to wow crowds with larger-than-life displays created by Lego enthusiasts.

In previous years, the displays have included a Mos Eisley Spaceport diorama from Star Wars: A New Hope and 30 ft Great Ball Contraption.

The festival will also boast stands selling new and used Lego sets.

The sets range from vintage collectables to affordable pre-loved items and mini figures.

Alongside the boxed sets, the festival has an unlimited selection of loose bricks, with visitors able to fill up a cup with as many bricks as they wish for just £7.

Those visiting with families can pick up an activity sheet and find the hidden figures throughout the festival.

Other activities on offer include a dedicated building area, speed-building competitions and family challenges with prizes to take home.

Tickets for the festival start from £5 and are available here.

If you book an early entry ticket, you will also receive a free Lego gift.

The Maidstone Brick Festival takes place on Saturday, May 11 at the Maidstone Leisure Centre from 10am to 4pm.
