Grab your creativity cap and a pair of very firm-soled shoes, because Lego has just announced that it will be hosting a massive festival in Windsor this year.
The Lego Festival will be taking place on select dates from May 3 all the way until June 8, and it will be geared towards families. This doesn’t mean that grown-up Lego fans aren’t welcome, just that the activities taking place will be a 10-year-old’s idea of fun – the creators of the event are describing it as ‘the world’s first child-first festival’.
The event will be held in Legoland Windsor Resort (where else?) and will feature five different ‘zones’ to play in. These will include: music, creativity, dance, gaming, and chill out, which will each have unique activities and a lot of building Lego.
In the music zone you’ll have the chance to play a Lego guitar, or even take part in a battle of the bands. The creativity zone is where you’ll be able to build whatever your heart desires and the dance zone, well, that one’s pretty self explanatory.
As part of the celebrations, Lego are asking families to make a ‘play pact’, where children will swear to ‘build more, laugh louder, explore endlessly and always keep playing’. Who wouldn’t be on board with that?
If this all sounds like something your little ones would be interested in, you can buy tickets now for £38. That grants you access to all five play zones and the wider park. The price for tickets on the day is almost double that, so it is strongly recommended that you book ahead – you can do that on Legoland’s website here.
Fiona Eastwood, CEO of Merlin Parks, voiced excitement for the event, stating: ‘Legoland Resorts have always been a ‘child’s first’ experience of a theme park - who better to deliver their first festival experience?
‘This is an invitation to families around the world to come together and experience the transformative power of play in a fun and engaging environment. We can’t wait to see children and families create lasting memories at Legoland.’
