“LEGO is loved by kids – and much bigger kids – so this exhibition is one that’s not to be missed. And once you’ve marvelled at the incredible models on display, you can get cracking on making your own inspiring creations,” Chairman of Canterbury City Council’s Community Committee, Neil Baker said. “This is going to be a very popular event and early booking is recommended so you don’t miss out.”

Bricks Britannia: A History of Britain in LEGO Bricks opens at The Beaney on Saturday, February 9, running until Sunday, February 24.
