What is a workshop with LEGO bricks?
LEGO bricks are a great, versatile tool to encourage engagement with a wide range of age groups, from children to adults. Its tactile nature means workshops can be the perfect ice breaker, too – people can’t help but pick LEGO bricks up and start playing.
Workshops with LEGO bricks make use of this tactile appeal to participants of all ages, and can be used at venues of almost any size, and adapted to most visitor numbers.
Our workshops have been booked by clients including Science Museum Group, National Trust and regional museums and libraries across the UK, and our range of activities with LEGO bricks are a great way to entice new visitors to your venue.
If you would like to discuss a LEGO workshop or event with me, please do get in touch.
Creative workshops
Creative workshop sessions can vary greatly in their content and pace depending on the ages of those participating, the time available, and the number of participants in each session. They are perfect for LEGO bricks – creativity can flow free!
