Our Lego Weekend took place on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th April 2026!
It was fantastic to have so many people visit us over the course of the weekend. We’re delighted to have received excellent feedback for this event, with some people suggesting that we do this again next year. Will we? Let’s wait and see, we still have a few more ideas for events 2026 first…
We’ve taken the chance to extend our Lego minifigure trail, so even if you didn’t have the opportunity to join us for the weekend you can still search for the historical Lego minifigures around The Devil’s Porridge Museum (at the time of writing that is).
In addition to the trail, it was brilliant to see what everyone built during the weekend and we also had a awesome selection of Lego models on display.
Thank you to everyone who loaned and donated Lego models. Plus, we would like to say a huge thank you to all our volunteers for helping to make this event run smoothly!
