News, events and schools' information for families across Bath and West Wiltshire

Exciting news for LEGO enthusiasts and families alike! ‘The Big Brick Build at Stonehenge’ event takes place from Sat 6 Apr to Sun 14 Apr 2024 and is open to everyone looking for a unique and engaging experience over the Easter Holidays.

Following the success of last year’s giant LEGO model of Stonehenge, this Easter, families are invited to help create six magnificent brick mosaics of the iconic monument.

Held at the Stonehenge Visitor Centre against the backdrop of the Neolithic Houses, families are invited to join in a unique artistic challenge. Kids of all ages (from four years upwards) will be entrusted with a small section of a grand mosaic, culminating in six monumental two-metre-wide masterpieces that together will form a captivating gallery of Stonehenge pictures, showcasing a tapestry of creativity and community spirit.

While being creative you can also delve into fascinating facts about Stonehenge, including how some of its clever construction techniques aren’t in fact that different to how LEGO bricks connect!

Children aged 4 and above are welcome to join in the fun under adult supervision. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in a unique blend of history and creativity!

Book your tickets online now and enjoy a 15% discount on admission.

And there’s more!

That’s not all on offer in the area over the school holidays to keep the kids entertained. Every day between Saturday 23rd March until Sunday 14th April, children will be able to embark on a cracking Easter Adventure Quest at nearby Old Sarum

Each child will receive a quest booklet which will take them on an egg-citing hunt around the grounds, uncovering clues to the fascinating history of Easter as they go. On completing the challenge, there will (of course!) be a tasty chocolate reward to tuck into.

It costs just £2 to take part, for both English Heritage members and non-members, on top of the normal ticket price. There is no need to book the quest, just simply turn up at site. Find out more on the English Heritage website.
