LEGO exhibition Bricks Britannia runs until Easter Monday at Tenterden before taking a break

An exhibition featuring 30 famous locomotives, landmarks and familiar faces made entirely from LEGO continues its run in Kent this weekend.

Bricks Britannia, at the Kent & East Sussex Railway in Tenterden, finishes its first showing on Easter Monday, before opening again later in the month.

It includes an eight metre model of the Flying Scotsman with three Pullman carriages and charts the history of Britain from Neolithic Stonehenge through to the supersonic age of Concorde and has been created by Bright Bricks, featured on Channel 4’s Inside LEGO at Christmas.

Thousands of bricks have been used to create all the models – and more than 1,000 people visited on its opening weekend.

The exhibition is also on from Saturday, April 22 and Sunday, April 23 and Saturday, April 29 and Sunday, April 30, as well as the May bank holiday weekend. It includes workshops where visitors can build their own LEGO steam locomotive and Pullman carriage.
