LEGO Stores across the UK and Ireland regularly run free Make & Take events, where children can build a small themed model – from mini castles to sports stadiums – and keep it, entirely free of charge.

There is no membership, booking or purchase required; simply turn up during the advertised times at a participating store, though builds are limited to one per person and given out on a first-come, first-served basis while stocks last.

Events change regularly through the year, so check the official LEGO Stores events page for the next one at your nearest store and its recommended age range.
