A popular Lego celebration is coming back to the county for the first time in five years.

The Brick Festival, one of the toy company's most popular building events, will be held at the Maidstone Leisure Centre on April 22.

Established in 2018, it was last held in Kent the following year when Chatham Dockyard played host.

It is one of 24 festivals that will take place throughout the UK this year, and it sees experiences such as building competitions, large-scale and model displays, as well as exclusive Lego mini figures on view.

Brick Festival's website said: "The range of new & used LEGO sets available at our Brick Festival events is always vast and varied.

"Every Brick Festival has a dedicated building area where you can channel your creativity with thousands of LEGO bricks, with each event offering a totally unique selection of great displays.

"At previous events, we have had an incredible large scale Mos Eisley spaceport diorama from Star Wars, a huge Great Ball Contraption that’s over 30-foot-long, and so many other incredible displays."

Designed for families, 'Adult Fans of Lego' (AFOL) and children, the event at Mote Park, which will take place from 10am-5pm, will host traders selling loose bricks and models.

Previous events have also had themes such as architecture with sculptures including the Empire State Building on display, as well as characters from Disney Pixar franchises like Toy Story.

The festival in Maidstone is estimated to attract between 1,000 and 3,000 visitors, with tickets costing between £5 and £18.
