A LEGO fan event with building challenges, gaming zones, scavenger hunts and displays by builders from across the UK.
The Portsmouth Brick Festival returns to Portsmouth Guildhall on Sunday 15 November, from 10am to 4pm. It's a LEGO fan event run by Brick Festival Events, which first came to the city in 2018, and it's open to all ages—families, collectors, and adult builders alike.
The main draw is the displays, put together by experienced LEGO builders from across the UK. You can walk around and see their work, and the builders themselves are there to chat and share tips for your own creations. Past editions have featured a Star Wars Mos Eisley Spaceport diorama and a Great Ball Contraption over 30 feet long, so there's usually a good mix of themes and scales to look at.
Beyond the displays, there's a full day's programme. Speed-building competitions with prizes, scavenger hunts, gaming zones, and a remote-controlled LEGO car area run alongside the exhibits. There's also a dedicated building area with thousands of loose bricks on hand if you want to get stuck in yourself. Traders will be there selling loose bricks, new and retired LEGO sets, minifigures, and accessories, so it's a decent spot to pick up bits you can't find on the shelves.
