Love LEGO?
Celebrate with us at the Wakefield Brick Show in The Ridings Shopping Centre.
We will have some of the best LEGO displays on display, featuring many master builders who will be more than happy to meet and chat with you.
There will also be opportunities to buy lots of goodies from loose LEGO bricks to the latest sets, plus vintage, rare sets, and everything in between
And the best bit? Entry is free!
The venue is located right in the heart of Wakefield, making it easy to reach by public transport. Additionally, there are over 1,000 parking spaces in the centre itself. And parking is only 50p for all day on Sundays.
The venue is fully accessible, but space is subject to capacity limits, so you may need to queue at busier times.
