The Great Western Brick Show 2026

The UK’s longest-running brick show returns to STEAM – Museum of the Great Western Railway, Swindon, on 10–11 October 2026.

Discover more than 100 original fan-built LEGO® displays, from enormous collaborative creations and detailed cities to castles, spacecraft, vehicles, trains and engineering projects.

This year also celebrates 10 years of Robot Battles, with live tournaments throughout the weekend. Follow hundreds of balls around a spectacular 36-metre Great Ball Contraption, meet the builders and enjoy hours of hands-on activities where visitors can build, race, control and create.

With so many displays and activities to discover, many visitors spend all day or even the whole weekend exploring the event. Your ticket also includes full entry to STEAM, bringing together LEGO® creativity and real railway history for a complete family day out.

The Great Western Brick Show is powered by Brickish, the UK-wide LEGO® User Group, and is held in aid of Swindon Children’s Scrapstore—supporting creativity, education and imaginative play in the local community.
