The Brick Barn will open its doors on December 23 inside a converted barn stuffed to the brim with stacks of Lego where visitors will be able to get stuck in to all manner of creations.

Based at Shepherds Place Farm near Haxey, staff have spent the last few months transforming the farm building into a magical, themed Lego-filled wonderland with a host of areas to enjoy.

Bricks will be piled up in an area dubbed the Festival Courtyard, and builders will be able to spend hours coming up with their creations.

A spokesman said: “You’ll find Lego pieces in all sorts of places around the Festival Courtyard. Just one of two themed build rooms here at the Brick Barn.

“Book yourself and the family a day pass and build for as long as you like and if you decide to take your creation home you can put it on our scales and pay for the weight like pick and mix.”
