Calling all Lego fans young and old. Sheffield Bricktropolis returns in August 2022, bringing brick-building fun to the city centre. And this time, the theme is dinosaurs.

Sheffield Bricktropolis will bring to the city centre a trail of dinosaur models and a showcase of unique creations from super builders. Plus, there'll be lots of chance to get hands-on, either in the play zone at Sheffield Cathedral or by contributing to a giant mosaic.

Brickosaurs Trail
6–21 August, various locations
A series of 15 amazing dinosaur models will be scattered across local businesses in the city centre. Pick up a trail map for £1 from Explorer Central next to the Winter Garden and head out on a roar-some adventure to track them all down and learn fun facts along the way. Return your completed trail map 5pm on 21st August to enter a prize draw to win a family trip to the Legoland Windsor Resort or a £100 Sheffield City Centre gift card. Explorer Central on Surrey Street is open Monday–Saturday 10am–6pm, Sunday 10am–5pm.
