MORE THAN JUST BRICKS

Did you know that the Great Western Brick Show is the flagship annual event of Brickish—the UK-wide community for Adult Fans of LEGO®?

Founded in 2002, Brickish brings together people from across the country who share a love of building, collecting, displaying and everything LEGO®. GWBS is where much of that creativity comes together on a spectacular scale—but the Brickish community continues all year round.

Our relaxed local meetups are a chance to:

Chat about all things LEGO®
Share your latest builds and ideas
Meet other local adult fans
Make new friends within the community

You don’t need an enormous collection or years of building experience. Whether you build regularly, collect favourite sets or have recently rediscovered the hobby, you’ll be very welcome.

Local meetups currently take place around the UK, including here in Swindon. They’re informal, friendly and a great way to discover what Brickish is all about.

Meetups are for adults aged 18+.

Find your nearest meetup and come along:

For LEGO® fans. By LEGO® fans. Connecting adult LEGO® fans across the UK since 2002.
