Build mini LEGO® sets at our Make & Take Events

Our Make & Take Events are a fun way to experience building with LEGO® bricks, whether it’s your very first set or your hundredth! Throughout the year, LEGO fans can visit one of our stores to build a special themed set – and then take it home afterwards! From Star Wars™ builds for May the 4th to creepy creations for Halloween, there’s always something new and exciting to make.

These events take place at different times during the year, often around special holidays and occasions. To see what’s happening near you, visit the Promotions, Offers and Events page for your local store. Don’t forget – terms and conditions apply, so check the event details before you join in the fun!

Unleash your imagination at a creativity workshop

There’s no better way to get creative than with a handful of LEGO® bricks! Creativity workshops are similar to Make & Takes, allowing kids to experience a fun building activity in one of our LEGO Stores. Kids can build, decorate, explore their imaginations and then take their creations home with them!

Creativity Workshops aren’t on all the time, but they pop up at different points during the year. Keep an eye on your local store’s event listings to see when the next one may be happening near you. As with the Make & Take events, terms and conditions apply, so take a look at the event page before you arrive.

Explore the store during a LEGO® Scavenger Hunt

Another exciting event we host occasionally throughout the year at different LEGO® Stores is a scavenger hunt. Can you find the carefully-hidden sets around the store? Complete the challenge and you could win a fun surprise!

These events happen at select times and locations, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates on your local store’s event listings as well as the terms and conditions.

Celebrate the festive season and special occasions with LEGO® Promotions

We’re always finding ways to celebrate the latest holidays and occasions; whether it’s May the 4th, Mother’s Day or the festive season. During the year, you’ll find exciting LEGO® promotions, limited time offers and exclusive sets.

Be sure to visit our Promotions page regularly to see what’s currently available. Most featured offers can be found both online and in LEGO Stores, but availability may vary, so check often to make sure you don’t miss out!

Be first in the queue for new LEGO® set releases

There’s nothing more exciting for a LEGO® fan than getting your hands on a brand-new set! Visit your local LEGO Store on release day to be among the first to bring home the latest builds. 

If you’re a LEGO Insiders member, you can even enjoy early access to select new releases before anyone else – just one of the many perks of being part of the community. To see what’s coming soon, check out your local store’s Coming Soon page and plan your next visit!

Meet a LEGO® designer

Ever wondered what it’s like to bring a LEGO® set to life? From time to time, our talented LEGO Designers visit select stores, usually around the launch of a brand-new set they’ve helped create! These special events offer fans a unique chance to meet the minds behind the bricks, hear design stories first-hand and sometimes even get a signature or photo.

While these events are very rare and usually take place at flagship LEGO Stores, they’re truly unforgettable experiences for fans of all ages. Keep an eye on your local store’s page to see if a LEGO Designer visit may be happening near you – you never know when the next exciting opportunity will pop up!

Build your own LEGO® Minifigures

Ever wanted to create a LEGO® minifigure of yourself? A great activity that fans can take part in all year round at LEGO Stores is Build your own LEGO Minifigure. No need to wait for a special event – you can do this whenever you visit a LEGO Store! Build your own custom-made LEGO Minifigure using an assortment of minifigure accessories and parts. New parts are added regularly, often for occasions like Halloween or Christmas.

Get creative in the LEGO® Play Area

Take a break and let your imagination run wild in the LEGO® Play Area at your local LEGO Store! Each play zone is filled with loose bricks so you can build, create and explore however you like. It’s the perfect spot for fans of all ages, whether you’re waiting while family members shop or just want to spend some time having fun and getting creative.

Buy individual pieces from the LEGO® Pick & Build Wall

Discover endless building possibilities at the LEGO® Pick & Build Wall. This is a fan-favourite feature in our stores! Choose from a wide selection of individual LEGO bricks and elements in various shapes, colours and sizes.
