Exciting New additions to the Great Western Brick Show!

The highly anticipated Great Western Brick Show returns to STEAM – Museum of the Great Western Railway on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th October 2024, celebrating its 21st year of extraordinary LEGO® creations. This year, the event promises to be more spectacular than ever with the introduction of two exciting new features: the Outlet Trail and a School Competition.

Discover the Outlet Trail

In collaboration with McArthur Glen Swindon Designer Outlet, STEAM and Brickish the Great Western Brick Show is proud to present the all-new Outlet Trail. Running from Monday 2nd September to Sunday 29th September, visitors to the McArthur Glen Swindon Designer Outlet can embark on a thrilling treasure hunt, searching for 10 LEGO® models hidden throughout the outlet. Each model holds a letter – collect them all to uncover a secret phrase!

Participants who successfully decipher the phrase will have the chance to enter an exciting competition, with the grand prize being a Family Ticket to the Great Western Brick Show at STEAM. It’s a perfect blend of fun and family-friendly adventure!

Calling All Schools: Build for the Future!

This year also marks the launch of the Great Western Brick Show’s first-ever School Competition, a unique opportunity for young minds to showcase their creativity. In partnership with the LEGO® Group, schools are invited to participate in a brick-building challenge with a purpose: Design a Railway Bridge of the Future to Combat Climate Change.

Winning teams will not only have their models displayed at this year’s show but will also compete for exciting LEGO® prizes for their schools. As a special highlight, winners will have the chance to meet a real LEGO® MasterBuilder from the LEGO® House, making this an unmissable opportunity for young builders.
