Sheffield Bricktropolis – a free visitor trail and programme of fun activities inspired by the nation’s favourite bricks – returns from Saturday, 3rd August 3.
Sheffield Bricktropolis’ theme this year is ‘on safari’ and people taking part will be able to spot intricate animal models on their expeditions around the city centre.
There are 17 wild animal brick models going on display in the city centre, including a Bengal tiger located inside Primark on The Moor and an African lion made from thousands of bricks at the new Pennine Five offices on Hawley Street, as well as a zebra, kangaroo and an alligator, along with a collection of baby animals.
Diane Jarvis, Head of Business Operations, commented on the event saying: “Sheffield Bricktropolis is a fantastic opportunity to get active with the family and explore different parts of the city: “It’s a great full day out for families and people of all ages, providing a chance for them to see some of the many exciting changes taking place in Sheffield city centre.”
Families who find all the models using the official £1 trail map can even enter a competition to win tickets including travel and accommodation to LEGOLAND Windsor.
Meanwhile, there will be free building activities in place at Sheffield Cathedral and the Builder’s Brew café and an Adult Fans of LEGO® exhibition will take place on the opening weekend at Sheffield Hallam University’s Hallam Hall.
Developers RBH Properties are an associate sponsor for Bricktropolis. Jeremy Hughes, Director at RBH Properties, expanded on the sponsorship, stating: “Being able to host two amazing Lego models gives us a fantastic opportunity to showcase the plaza. We can’t wait to welcome families from Sheffield and beyond.”
Sheffield Bricktropolis runs from August 3 until August 18. Visit Brick Central (otherwise known as the Sheffield BID) to collect a trail map for a £1 fee which includes entry into the prize draw. Alternatively, a free map can be downloaded from the website.
