Last night inside the world’s largest LEGO® Store, it was beginning to look a lot like Christmas. To celebrate the festive season the Leicester Square store LEGO fans and various ‘famous’ folk descended on the store to check out some of the latest LEGO sets including the newly revealed Eiffel Tower. Visitors could also build a mini present for this year’s #BuildToGive campaign. Most exciting was Katy Perry’s dress as worn in the Rebuild the World TV advert, being on display at the store. Thanks to Robin for popping along and providing some pictures.
IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE BRICKMAS
Celebs and their families attend The LEGOⓇ Group’s festive launch event at the world’s biggest LEGO store
Sam Faiers, Binky Felstead, Lydia Bright and their families were amongst the guests who attended the LEGO Group’s Christmas launch event tonight at the world’s biggest LEGO® store in Leicester Square.
Other guests who got into the festive spirit included Ashley James, Joe Sugg, James Buckley, Annie Mac and more.
Attendees and their loved ones celebrated the first festive event at the newly refurbished LEGO Store by getting hands on with a number of LEGO play experiences including making their own LEGO Minifigures and taking part in The LEGO Group’s annual Build to Give initiative – where LEGO fans from anywhere in the world can build a gift from LEGO bricks and upload it to social media with the hashtag #BuildtoGive. For each creation shared, the LEGO Group will donate a set to a child in need. This year’s ambition is to donate over 2m sets
Pop-loving attendees were also thrilled to see first-hand the LEGO dress worn by Katy Perry in The LEGO Group’s ‘Build a Playful Holiday’ advert, and even more so when they got to channel their inner popstars by trying on the matching LEGO headbands and necklaces.
Since reopening, the new-look LEGO Store Leicester Square has welcomed LEGO fans from across the UK and beyond. Guests have delighted in immersing themselves in the LEGO world surrounded by jaw-dropping 3D builds inspired by Britain, and play experiences such as the Tree of Discovery where visitors of all ages can explore a magical wonderland hidden inside – it’s a must-visit for every family!
As part of the LEGO Holiday campaign this year, the much-loved brand has also tasked kids from across the UK to share their ideas for how they’d reimagine the festive season (if it was up to them!). The initiative will see kids’ ideas brought to life in LEGO bricks at a variety of locations, including LEGO stores and LEGO Discovery Centres this Holiday season. Kids will also have their ideas showcased in an episode of the LEGO Group Channel 4 miniseries hosted by Katherine Ryan this Saturday 19th of November.
A trip to the LEGO store is a must-do family festive outing. Beyond having something for every gift-giving need and interest, the stores are packed with memory-making family experiences. LEGO.com and LEGO stores have the widest range of LEGO gifts and exclusive items that you won’t find anywhere else this holiday season.
