'We're back bigger and better than ever!' Tickets on sale for 6th annual Black Country Brick Show
The charity-run Lego show is a fan favourite among master and amateur builders alike.
Tickets are on sale for the sixth annual Black Country Brick Show set to take place at the Phoenix Collegiate, on Clarkes Lane, West Bromwich, this month.
The annual Lego show is set to take place at 10am on Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, and will see hundreds of master and amateur builders share their marvellous creations for all to wonder at.
The event includes a range of displays, games and activities to get involved in for the love of Lego and for charity.
This year, funds raised will go to the Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity, with more than £12,000 raised for the cause last year.
Organiser Paul Clark said this year's show will be “bigger and better” than ever.
He said: “Last year was amazing, it was such a brilliant show.
“We had over 3,000 people attend over the weekend. We had a huge Lego tower, a full street display, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and some Star Wars cosplayers who are attending again this year.
“I don’t want to spoil it too much, but we have even managed to get Chewbacca to come this year too.”
The event this year will also include displays for fans of the high fantasy book and movie series The Lord of the Rings, with this year featuring a large-scale map of Middle-earth, where the story takes place.
Paul added: “This year we have more than 50 displays and master builders that have come from all over the world to attend.
“This event has just grown year on year, and this year we are offering free giveaways, build sessions, Lego Bot Wars, and tonnes of hands-on stuff for the children.
“It’s going to be an amazing event.”
Money raised this year will go towards the charity Fairy Bricks, which donates Lego sets to children’s hospices and hospitals across the UK.
Tickets for the event are £7 per person, with children three and under going free with a single paying adult.
Family tickets for the event, which include two adults and two children, are on sale for £23, with refreshments available on the day.
