Darlington Brick Show

The ultimate weekend for LEGO fans® is coming to Hopetown Darlington this May 2026.

Get ready, Darlington… the bricks are coming and they're bigger than ever at Darlington Brick Show!

Join Brick Alley members and special guest builders for an unforgettable LEGO extravaganza packed with:
•    Incredible custom LEGO model displays.
•    Hands-on building zones to unleash your creativity.
•    Fun LEGO challenges and activities for all ages.
•    A buzzing marketplace full of pocket money treasures, rare sets, and those hard to find gems every LEGO fan dreams of.
 
Whether you're a seasoned builder, a curious newcomer, or a family looking for a brilliant day out, this two day celebration of imagination is one you simply can’t miss.

This year’s event is spreading across the entire site, turning the Museum, the Locomotive Works, and the Carriage Works into one giant brick built adventure zone! Your timed ticket gives you entry to the main show inside the Carriage Works whilst the rest of the site bursts to life with extra activities, mini build missions, and surprise creations waiting to be discovered.

Think of it as a LEGO treasure hunt across three amazing spaces… click your bricks together and explore it all!

Darlington Brick Show is brought to you by Brick Alley LEGO User Group.
