A brick-building event that celebrates all things Lego is returning to Kent.

The Maidstone Brick Festival, which started in 2018, is a day for families, collectors and adult builders to take part in competitions, see large-scale displays and pick up new and retro Lego sets.

The one-day event is set to wow crowds with larger-than-life displays created by Lego enthusiasts.

In previous years, the displays have included a Mos Eisley Spaceport diorama from Star Wars: A New Hope and 30 ft Great Ball Contraption.

The festival will also boast stands selling new and used Lego sets.

Alongside the boxed sets, the festival has an unlimited selection of loose bricks, with visitors able to fill up a cup with as many bricks as they wish for just £7.

Those visiting with families can pick up an activity sheet and find the hidden figures throughout the festival.

Other activities on offer include a dedicated building area, speed-building competitions and family challenges with prizes to take home.

Tickets for the festival start from £5 and are available here.

If you book an early entry ticket, you will also receive a free Lego gift.

The Maidstone Brick Festival takes place on Saturday, May 11 at the Maidstone Leisure Centre from 10am to 4pm.
