2021 LEGO events and shows in the UK
Our annual list of LEGO events and shows in the UK is back for 2021, featuring LEGO shows in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland for 2021.
Our annual list of LEGO events and shows in the UK is back for 2021, featuring LEGO shows in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland for 2021.
It’s that time of year, again, somehow – time for our list of UK LEGO events for 2021!
After a patchy year for 2020’s LEGO events in the UK – and around the world, too – we’re hoping 2021 brings some normality back to our LEGO-loving calendar.
As of 2021, we also maintain a list of virtual LEGO events worldwide too.
You may also be interested in our list of UK LEGO events in 2022.
A rough guide to the size of the LEGO event is given, based on the numbers of visitors per day. This is designed to give you an idea of the scale of the event, although we’ve found LEGO shows of all sizes to be enjoyable. With larger shows, you can generally expect to see more exhibits, and have more activities for visitors to take part in.
We no longer list LEGO workshops at museums or travelling exhibitions of LEGO models, as these became too time-intensive to keep track of.
As always, check with the event organisers before travelling to events.
