LEGO User Group for Adults

Whether you're already an avid builder, never picked up a LEGO brick before, or it's just been a while, join us and connect with others in a relaxed and friendly social setting. Our group is growing. We welcome new members each time.

In addition to the creative benefits, building with LEGO can be therapeutic and a great tool to reduce stress and anxiety. Use our stock of LEGO at Duncan Place to free-build solo or together. You might reminisce about LEGO memories and also make new ones. Maybe you'll find someone who has that sought after LEGO piece you need to finish your latest build, or be able to help a fellow builder out. Feel free to bring something you’ve been working on or seek advice from others on how to move forward with plans for that new build.

Group cost:

Although registration here on Eventbrite does not require an online payment, there's a small cost of £1 per person to be paid at each session by cash or card. If paying by cash, it would be great if you could bring exactly £1 to save having to make lots of change.

This group is for adults aged 16 and over.
