Lego/Duplo club

Lego/Duplo club is back at Central Library on Friday 30 October, and it's one of those things that's as easy to do as it sounds. The library provides the bricks, and you bring the imagination. It's a drop-in session, so there's no need to book in advance — you just turn up and get building. Everyone is welcome regardless of age, though parents and carers need to stay with their children.

If you're looking for something to do over the next few months, there's plenty to choose from. At Central Library (555 Silbury Boulevard, Central Milton Keynes MK9 3HL), the sessions run on Tuesday afternoons from 4.00pm to 5.00pm on 3, 10, 17, 24 and 29 November, and then 1, 8, 15 and 22 December, with one final date on 5 January 2027. If Tuesdays don't work, there are Saturday morning sessions from 10.00am to 12.00pm on 31 October, 7, 14, 21 and 28 November, and 5, 12, 19 and 26 December, plus 2 January 2027. That's a long run of dates to pick from, so you can drop in whenever it suits you best.

There's also a session at Newport Pagnell Library on Wednesday 28 October from 3.30pm to 4.30pm, which is a good option if you're closer to that side of town. Both the Central and Newport Pagnell sessions are free, and since they're drop-in, you don't have to commit to a whole term — you can just pop in for one afternoon or one Saturday morning and see where it takes you. The Central Library sessions are held in the Children's Library, and it's the same setup at Newport Pagnell: the library puts out the bricks, and you take it from there.
