Start your Easter holidays in style by taking part in an exclusive LEGO® brick workshop only at WWT Washington Wetland Centre.
A firm favourite for kids and big kids alike, LEGO building brings hours of happiness with a need for concentration and a certain level of dexterity. What better way to put these skills to the test then by taking part in special hour-long workshops created especially for The Wildfowl and Wetland Trust (WWT).
These hour-long workshops start this weekend and are split into 3 exciting activities:
The team challenge: A challenge that is set to test your speed and dexterity building as many model fish as possible; and if that’s not exciting enough, you’re being timed so there’s no time to dawdle!
The individual activity: Now is your time to shine as you take your solo mission to craft a vehicle – not only does it need to support the weight of your chosen mini-animal, but it must also float in our water tank!
Make and take time: Your chance to relax and enjoy building your very own LEGO brick frog mini-model to take it home with you.
The centre is also offering 2 autism-friendly workshops as part of their commitment to make the site as accessible as possible. These workshops have reduced numbers to help reduce noise levels, while including all of the fun and interactive elements.
Workshops are extremely popular and must be pre-booked online. They form part of the GIANT LEGO® brick animal trail which sees 11 impressive, individually-designed LEGO® brick characters in an exciting trail until May bank holiday (1 May). The giant animals – some up to twelve times life size, include kingsize Kate the kingfisher, gigantic Bruce the goose and the impressive Lottie the otter. The trail also features two models never before seen at Washington – a dragonfly and frog, which are sure to leave avid fans in awe of the sheer delicacy and scale.
There is no extra cost to meet the giant LEGO brick animals at Washington Wetland Centre this Easter; the trail is included in the admission price. Places for the interactive workshops can be pre-booked online at an additional cost of £8.50. (Autism-friendly workshops must be booked by calling the centre on 0191 4165454).
