Marking its 22nd year in Swindon, the Great Western Brick Show arrives at the museum on Saturday, 11 and Sunday, 12 October.
For the first time, the event will take over the entire museum, filling every space with spectacular LEGO creations and activities. Made possible by over 200 builders, traders and volunteers, the show is set to be one of the unmissable highlights of STEAM’s calendar.
There will be more than 100 spectacular LEGO models and displays, built by some of the UK’s finest creators and special international guests – from detailed railway layouts and bustling cityscapes to spaceships, castles, vehicles and beyond.
This year, Robot Battles returns where LEGO robots clash in thrilling head-to-head matches. Attendees will also have the opportunity to get involved and take control of a battling robot in a special hands-on challenge.
For little ones, there will also be brick pits and creative play areas where attendees can build, race and experiment with LEGO and DUPLO.
And for those looking to treat themselves, there will be plenty of opportunities to find the latest sets, rare collectibles, and unique gifts.
Councillor Marina Strinkovsky, Swindon Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Placemaking and Planning, said: “The Great Western Brick Show returns and it’s bigger than ever!
“The event is always a standout on STEAM’s calendar and is filled with glorious LEGO fun for the whole weekend.
“There will be so much to enjoy, for all ages and building abilities, and plenty of opportunities to build out your own LEGO collection.
“Not to mention the fantastic location of the STEAM Museum where you’ll also be able to immerse yourself in the history of Swindon. What’s not to love?”
