The Big Build
Every day, 10am to 3.30pm with last entry at 3pm
We have thousands of bricks in The Learning Hub for you to choose from, which we have washed and sorted, but we need your help to create all kinds of imaginative models. It could be a car you’d like to race, a pit stop, a garage or even a winner’s trophy!
When the model is finished, we’ll take a photo - one for you to take home and one to go in the bag so the child who receives it knows what to build!
These completed bags will then be donated to local community pantries and youth groups, supporting families and young people who need them most.
The Brick Bank is a scheme run by the Museum that collects pre-loved LEGO® bricks and donates them to the children who need them most. Building with bricks develops a child's creativity, motor skills and well-being, all of which are important for their future development. And, of course, recycling bricks rather than just throwing them away is much better for the environment, too!
The only limit is your imagination! What will you choose to build?
The Twelve Elves of Christmas trail
Every day
The presents have been given out, the reindeer are resting and the sleigh's gone in for its MOT. Santa is taking a rare day off to celebrate another job well done and has gathered all his Elves for a team photo with the lovely sleigh-red Albion car in the Welcome Gallery. But, 6 mischievous elves are hiding in historic motors elsewhere in the Museum!
Want to help us find the camera-shy elves? Set off on the trail and as you spot them write down the names of the 6 elves and which cars they are hiding in around the Museum, so we can track them down later on.
Once you’ve worked out all of the locations of these tearaway toymakers, head over to the Family Activity Station to collect your reward sticker!
Then celebrate your expert elf-finding skills by creating your own team photo alongside the remaining elves with the Albion!
NOTE: All activities are included in Museum admission. Just drop by the Family Activity station to find out what is going on when! Activities are suitable for 5+ years with adult supervision unless otherwise specified.
