This Easter it’s time to help construct a King at the King Richard III Visitor Centre in Leicester. Between March 30th until April 2nd visitors to the centre will be able to help Fairy Bricks construct a huge LEGO® mosaic of the King Richard III, the last English king to die in battle. If you’ve been to any major LEGO event in the UK, you’ll have probably experienced the marvel of a Fairy Bricks Mosaic. Now one of the most famous portraits of the king will be recreated using LEGO bricks. King Richard III has a special connection to Leicester, which the remain of the king famously found beneath a car park in the city. After test confirmed those remains where in fact of the king, they were laid to rest in Leicester Cathedral, close to the King Richard III Visitor Centre.
It’s all about portraits this Easter at the Visitor Centre…
