Up in the Air!

We had the pleasure of returning to the Orbit this February for another Bricks in the Sky event! Alongside an exhibition of some of our favourite London models from our collections, we also hosted interactive build events.

First up, we had a two free-build challenges - asking visitors to create landmarks and other architectural models from either standard 2x4 white LEGO bricks, or their own creations using a mix of LEGO pieces. Some of the finished models were incredibly impressive in their complexity and size!

The second event, saw Warren, Guy and Kirsten work with members of the public to create a series of mosaics based on London landmarks - everything from the Orbit itself to Buckingham Palace. We were blown away by the enthusiasm of the visitors and managed to complete seven mosaics (and with over 16,500 pieces per mosaic that was a lot of building!)

And yes, we all got to go down the slide as well!
