Taking Builder Nathan 2 years to complete this "forgotten temple" is made up of over 70,000 bricks  Archie Milligan

This Weekend Ōtautahi has been home to thousands of Lego Creations big and small, as a record-breaking 22,000 Cantabrians of all ages attended the 9th Christchurch Brick show.

The largest of the Kids Fest events happening over the school holidays. Volunteer staff worked all through Friday to prepare the Arena for the 200 Exhibitors that came with their vast array of builds on display varying from Far into outer space to Victorian England and everything in-between. Event organizers were especially impressed scale and quality of this year’s builds on display which can be attributed to the extra time that was made due to the cancellation of last years show because of the pandemic. Exhibitors were grateful to be back especially after a lack of having a show last year.
