Brickmania, the largest Lego show ever to hit the north-east will take place this Saturday in the unusual surroundings of one of the region’s most iconic museums.

Brickmania returns to Peterhead Prison Museum, bringing with it a huge showcase of models big and small created using the iconic coloured bricks.

The event will be three times bigger than last year and will feature Star Wars characters, sports cars and face painters.

With two weeks to go until the show, there is so much to look forward to! Over 25 Tartan LUG members with their amazing…

Its success has also seen organisers commit to a bright future for the show, with confirmation it is to become an annual feature on the town’s events’ calendar.

Organiser and the chairwoman of the Tartan Lego User Group (LUG), Christine Aird, said: “Brickmania is an annual event now and this year we’re in the museum’s hall B, which is three times the size of last year’s space.

“I’m delighted with how many members are coming to display. We will be welcoming over 25 exhibitors from the Tartan LUG who will show off their marvellous creations, one of whom will be travelling from Chester to join us.

“It’s the biggest and largest Lego show the north-east has ever seen and we’ll have everything from Technic to city scenes and a train line.”

Alex Geddes is operations manager at the museum and said he was ready to welcome the event back to the north east with open arms.

“We are delighted to host the Brickmania event again and would like to take this opportunity to thank Christine Aird for all her continued enthusiasm,” he said.

“Without her support and that of her fellow builders the event would not be possible and we look set to welcome large crowds again after the success of last year’s event.

“I would expect this to now become an annual part of our events’ calendar and the group will no doubt make this bigger and more diverse every time.

“Seeing these complex builds going on display for all ages to enjoy is great, as is the enthusiasm of the builders while they speak to the visitors.”

Brickmania will take place at Peterhead Prison Museum on Saturday between 10am and 4.30pm.

Entry is ÂŁ3 or included with museum admission, while children under 5 go free.
