The Big Build

22-24 July

Brick America is launching with a three-day, Big Build event! You are invited to work alongside LEGO artist, Warren Elsmore, and his team, to create a giant model of the Hollywood Sign, in celebration of its 100th anniversary this year.

The Big Build event will be run 10.30am–4.30pm on 22nd, 23rd, 24th July and will be a drop-in activity (no need to pre-book a slot). Visitors can create a large LEGO brick out of smaller bricks and Warren’s team will then assemble them to create the sign.
