London set to go LEGO crazy at London Film & Comic Con, London Brick Festival

By John Freeman on June 28, 2019

Celebrate all things LEGO at the London Brick Festival, returning 22nd September 2019. This will be a great day for families, collectors and adult builders alike – with lots to see and do including a speed building competition, large scale displays, traders selling loose bricks, and a building area.

Run by Showmasters, this one day event in central London will also bring you amazing displays from many talented builders, including a large scale Star Wars Mos Eisley Space Port, which will also be on display at the London Film & Comic Con in July.

Traders will be selling everything from loose bricks to that rare Minifigure, there will also be many free activities for the kids to take part in, including a scavenger hunt, and speed building competitions.

Before the Brick Festival, fans will be able to enjoy a foretaste of it with the debut of the brand new LEGO Display Zone at this year’s London Film & Comic Con.

This will offer the chance to see LEGO Mega Display of the Star Wars Tatooine Mos Eisley spaceport and docking bay 94, which the Millennium Falcon will be added to.

Other cool LEGO builds will also be on display, too – along with the usual mix of comic creators, TV and film stars and much more.
