Epic Whale Build with The Brickman Team

6 - 10 July 2023

Be part of an epic whale LEGO brick build with members of The Brickman team!

 

Join members of The Brickman team and work together to help the museum build a three-metre-high breaching humpback whale emerging from the floor in LEGO bricks!

Be part of the fun in one of eight 40-minute sessions each day. The build event is free, but booking a session time is essential for entry.

Book early! Each session is limited to 30 people, with only one session per visitor per day allowed so everyone can join in the fun.

All you need to bring is a love of LEGO®, team spirit and a desire to help build something epic!

The Epic Whale build is suitable for children 4 years of age and above.
